Curtis Frillmann
Iron Pastoral #5
Oil paint, acrylic, rust, on reformed found sheet metal
21" x 23" About The Exhibitions:
Curtis Frillmann, "Iron Pastorals"
Most recently recognized for his recycled paintings, Frillmanns has created a series of environmentalist pieces that are painted on a "canvas" of discarded objects. In this newest series, Frillmann employs recycled objects such as weathered sheet metal to create canvases that evoke the memory of Chicago's farmland roots on formed remnants of today's industrialized world. Frillmann builds up surfaces on formally constructed found object canvases to reflect the struggle of savage and urbane forces and to illustrate the influence man has over the land.
Jesse Hooker, "Eleanor & Lolita"
Two of the three pieces in this collection were inspired by the beautiful lines of the found interior of a 1969 Ford Mustang fastback. Both the settee and matching bench are beautifully constructed from thick slab of salvaged antique yellow pine, and the original reconditioned rear seat from a 1969 Ford Mustang fastback. Also on display will be Hooker’s "Lolita"-inspired coffee table, also made of antique pine. The table is inlaid with letter press spelling out the first paragraph of the novel "Lolita" by Vladamir Nabakov. The table also features a hidden "naughty drawer" lined with an original glass covered photograph.
