Pentimenti Gallery is excited to present
JACKIE TILESTON: Everything is Everything, a solo exhibiti
This
show includes paintings on
linen, mixed media works on
paper, and digital prints.
Each piece acts as a gateway
to spaces that are vast and
all encompassing, while also
feeling strangely close and
familiar.
Calling
on the interaction of
contrasting visual elements
and art historical
references, Tileston has
created an atmosphere that
plays by its own rules,
while paralleling our own in
a heterotypic fashion.
Ecosystems in themselves,
they are alive with opaque
mandala-like ornamentation,
trails that surface and
recede on vaporous threads,
murky rifts, fields of
nebulous color, and
landmasses built of thick
oil paint. Each element is
actively engaged with the
others, sometimes violently,
other times harmoniously.
These visual structures
succeed in developing a
synchronized habitat of
“otherness”, a place that is
collectively neither here
nor there.
“Painting
has an ability to open up
alternative visual
experiences that can
specifically align us with
internal spaces, altered
states of consciousness,
euphoria, complexity, and
the unpresentable.
Abstraction, especially, is
an expert intermediary,
translating the nonverbal
and not quite visible
realities into perceivable,
material form. Paintings can
function as runners between
realms, physical and
philosophical both.” (Tileston)
