Absent Myths: Watercolors by Greg Jamie
April 6 - May 31, 2019
|
Border Patrol is pleased to present Absent Myths, Greg Jamie's first solo exhibition of watercolor paintings.
Abstract and childlike creatures are being punished by nature for wandering outside of their parameters. These are beings consumed by nature. These myths are not established. The symbolism has no frame of reference, but the stories are vibrant fairy tales that are endless. Greg Jamie’s exhibition at Border Patrol is the first in an ongoing series of paintings that play with folklore as a dreamlike, non-nostalgic and immediate form. There is an odd juxtaposition of vibrant colors and muted tonal settings. Inspired by self-taught artists Martin Ramirez, Henry Darger, Carol Rama, Bill Traylor, and John Lurie, Greg Jamie works to create his own symbolic language and unspecific mythic beings caught in nightmarish landscapes. OPENING RECEPTION Saturday, April 6 4:00pm - 6:00pm |
