Gallery is pleased to present Alexi Worth's most recent paintings in our
project space. Show of Hands is a group of nearly monochromatic up-close images that
revisit the artist's earlier themes in a new, distinctively reinvented
pictorial language. Abandoning oil paint in favor of sprayed pigment, Worth has
created an idiom of stenciled, layered shapes where the effects of frontal
lighting are exaggerated and transformed. Reminiscent at times of
photo-collage, 3-D animation, and cartooning, the new images are literally
drawn from everyday life: people smoking, drinking, stacking fruit or crushing
paper. From these modest situations, Worth makes images that are at once
graphic and intricate, antipainterly but insistently handmade
