JASON WHEATLEY: LANGUAGE OF THE BIRDS
Gilman ContemporaryIn Jason Wheatley’s first solo exhibition at Gilman Contemporary, "Language of the Birds" features surreal and dreamlike still life paintings that explore our relationship with fantastical ideas and recognizable imagery. Embracing the illustrative style of John James Audubon and his famed “Birds of America” series, Wheatley deploys realist and absurdist sensibilities to each still life. Filled with metaphor and riddles, each canvas demonstrates a contemporary sense of humor and folly. Through repetition and practice, Wheatley paints from both memory and life. The oddities that are found in his paintings are a counterbalance the classical renderings in oil.
James Austin Murray: On the Return
Gilman Contemporary"On the Return" features new works from painter James Austin Murray who continues to demand that we put aside preconceived perceptions of light and dark and explore their evolving role in our lives. Murray rakes, scrapes, and physically moves his thickly applied jet-black paint, making the flat surface expand, contract, ripple, and pulse. Each painting is informed by years of innovative, intentional practice that is tempered by the fickle nature of wet oil paint. Murray’s ability to create an infinite possibility with paint and canvas is one that belies the limitation of material. The simplicity creates a visual complexity that can only be experienced when standing in front of one of his paintings. With each painting, we are given a glimpse into Murray’s artistic and material perspective.

Gallery Walk: Language of the Birds, Whimsical Still Life Paintings by Jason Wheatley
Gilman ContemporaryJason Wheatley’s first solo exhibition, "Language of the Birds", features surreal and dreamlike still life paintings that explore our relationship to fantastical ideas and recognizable imagery. Embracing the illustrative style of John James Audubon’s famed avion paintings, Wheatley deploys realist and absurdist sensibilities to each still life. Filled with metaphor and riddles, each canvas demonstrates a contemporary sense of whimsey, wit and folly. "I dabble in the absurd and make it accessible and beautiful at the same time. I want people to feel like they have stumbled onto a riddle. The don’t have to figure it out, just know that something is taking place." -Jason Wheatley Artist in Attendance.
