“Art and biology break out at Glassell Park's exhibit of LA-based artist Michael Reisman's Agglomerations: Drawings on Various Subjects Including (but not limited to) Life, Death, and Mineralogy, opening tonight at An Orange Door. Reisman's works reveal their roots in "biological and mechanical processes," finding inspiration from "the development of mold spores to additive manufacturing technologies."”
Julian Hooper, Flavorpill
Note:
The exhibit continues through November 20.
Agglomerations is rooted in a methodology whereby small gestures beget large gestures: the obsessive accretion of marks rendered in pen and ink or translucent, pastel-colored washes, creates increasingly complex tangles of activity through the reiteration of line, shape and color. The resulting hybridized forms, casually floating in space or sprouting from the edge, recall without directly referencing various biological or mineralogical phenomena and are utilized to convey magic, loss and regeneration.
