The painting exhibition Incise, Echo & Repeat was selected in a call for proposals by a jury of New York City artist, gallery and museum professionals. The show immersed viewers in worlds that ranged from loose to taut in feeling. Thirteen artists, via as many means, engaged schist-like to explosive fracturing as visual tools in their work. Compositions buttressed stained glass, gem-cut and scaffold atmospheres. Visual rifts girded bricolaged forms, found-fabric environs, and vertical and horizontal space-times. Chiseling and breaks were inherent to figuration, fractured still life and that suggestive of nature. The Clemente’s Abrazo Gallery is located in the Lower East Side’s former PS 160. The latter elementary school was designed utilizing utopian principles by Frederick Snyder. The artworks at times, seemed to echo the paint-cracked niches of this turn-of-the-century behemoth.
