Alfred DeCredico—Deconstructing Chaos
Contemporary Painting After a Century of Abstract Art
Part II. Intuition-based Abstraction
January 8 - March 12, 2010
Alfred DeCredico—DeConstructing Chaos
The second of three exhibitions looking at Contemporary Painting After a Century of Abstract Art, Deconstructing Chaos presents selected images from the artist's life long body of work. Alfred DeCredico's densely constructed drawings, paintings, and three-dimensional works acknowledge the origins of Abstract Expressionism, while addressing contemporary human issues. Not easily categorized, his work weaves eastern and western perspectival space and is complex with imagery often constructed through the use of non-traditional subtractive methods. The work in this exhibition are rich in unexpected combinations of personal imagery, haunting surrealistic elements, mysterious figuration, poetic allusions, musical references, and cryptic text.

John Thompson—Namesake
Contemporary Painting After a Century of Abstract Art
Part I. Observation-based Abstraction
October 10 - December 4, 2009
John Thompson—Namesake
The Thompson Gallery is proud to present John Thompson’s Namesake—the first of three exhibitions in a yearlong series that examines Contemporary Painting After a Century of Abstract Art. Thompson’s exhibition juxtaposes select paintings and series print works, which often blur the distinctions between each genre. Thompson’s vibrant and semi-abstract Hinsdale Series, for example, echoes the spirit of Monet’s Water Lilies with strong affinities for Asian calligraphic brushwork despite the limits that conventional wood block printing imposes. Namesake, as the title suggests, showcases the art of one of our community's great advocates of the visual arts, while also acknowledging the initial preoccupation of early abstract artists—who’s pioneering approach to abstraction departed from depicting recognizable, namable objects in favor pushing semblances toward simplified ends.

Andrew Graham, Daren Young—Tough Love
Complexities of Social Justice Part IIDecember 18, 2008 - February 6, 2009
Tough Love examines gay rights, same sex marriage and anti-gay rhetoric. Tough Love introduces Daren Young, an openly gay artist and activist living in Salt Lake City, Utah, who presents his multimedia "Virtual Wedding" and an autobiographical series of drawings, which chronicles his personal story as he came to acknowledge his sexual identity. Tough Love also welcomes back Andrew Graham (Brooklyn, N. Y.), a 1999 CSW alumnus who creates painted replicas of the placards which Rev. Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church (Topeka, Kan.) use during their protests at various events including gay pride gatherings, military funerals, and Christian and political gatherings. Juxtaposing Young's work with Graham's raises many questions about civil rights, first amendment rights, the definition of marriage and the "pursuit of happiness," and it dovetails with The Cambridge School of Weston's focus on social justice. -
