Alexandra Pacula
PULASKI CROSSING (8 PANELS) - New York City Skyline / Contemporary Realism

2016

About the Item

8 piece artwork depicting a crossing of the Pulaski Bridge in Brooklyn, New York City. Alexandra Pacula (b. 1979) paints works exploring the dynamic energy of cities at night. Polish-born, New York-based Pacula simulates the city’s turbulent nocturnal energy with a lexicon of marks all her own; her virtuosic brushwork, vibrant color, and fluid gestures transform moving cars into glossy bands of red, while swishy circles become reflective air ducts that sit atop squares of black rooftops. Lines of yellow zigzags mimic the time-lapse vision of the viewer’s own movement and capture a kind of elusive, frenetic energy that powers the city.

    Grace Graupe-Pillard has concentrated on portraiture since her early charcoal drawings which she exhibited at The Drawing Center, NYC in 1981. Her work, which has been exhibited at notable institutions such as MOMA PS1 and galleries including Cheim & Read Gallery (NY) and Carl Hammer Gallery (Chicago), has evolved from over the years from pastels to large-scale oil paintings and installations of people who she describes as “having not been integrated into mainstream society.” Her more recent paintings, inspired by selfies and iPhone photographs, attempt to convey the vitality and diversity of 21st century contemporary culture while capturing the ineffable moments in our lives. “The sensuality and radiant beauty of youth and ethnic diversity are depicted in my choice of subjects, as well as the ravages of time which are imprinted on our being. All stages of life are filled with humanity that both elevates and dissipates the spirit.” Her work has been written about in The NY Times, Art News, The Village Voice, The Star-Ledger, Newsday, Flash Art...
