April Gornik Recent Paintings and Drawings
October 14 – November 12, 2016
Danese/Corey is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent paintings and drawings by April Gornik. The exhibition includes large and small-scale paintings along with charcoal drawings, all of which Gornik continues to offer a penetrating and deeply personal view of the natural environment. Gornik’s imagery – approaching storms and lowering skies; turbulent seas; tranquil, sun-dappled forests – is rooted in observed reality, a world synthesized, abstracted and remembered. It confirms the continuity of past and present; of expanse and the intimacy of place; of stillness and the inexorable momentum of atmospheric change. In these captured moments, time yields, the natural world triumphs, and calm descends.
In both her paintings and drawings, light functions as a palpable, lucid, physical presence with the capacity to illuminate the world as well as to cast it into darkness. In Gornik’s large, beautifully modulated charcoal drawings, the backlit sky is so white that it turns the trees dark, and sends raking sunlight breaking through branches and streaking across the forest floor...it is the deep black of the trees that is turning the sky so white…She is crafting some imagery by not drawing it at all: she can only deliver the sky by rendering the tree.[1]
