Eva Wylie
Roaring Tulips
In Eva Wylie’s third exhibition at Vox Populi, she presents Roaring Tulips. The room-sized installation, consisting of a gutted parachute and red velvet backed cutouts, make us keenly aware of the spaces around, inside, and between our bodies. The wavering and dangling shapes of Wylie’s installation stand suspended to create a dialogue between the their physical support and configuration, and the encompassing environment.
Eva Wylie received her MFA from Tyler School of Art in 2003. She was a resident at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2007. In 2006, she received Pennsylvania Council on the Arts grant. Her exhibitions include Moore College of Art and Design, Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, 2007 Fleisher Challenge, and the Philadelphia International Airport.
GUEST ARTIST
Carl Baratta
Choke The River With Stone Fingers
Baratta’s narrative systems never settle. If things do not become fixed, they cannot be dismissed or forgotten. Every element is highly charged, active, and alive including dramatic spatial shifts, the violent color pallet, the mismatched characters and the exotic landscape.
Unlike typical narrative paintings, these paintings allow the viewer to browse each painting in any order they want; it is left to them to decide how the different elements connect to make some sort of sense. When each piece is looked at in its entirety, it adds up to a simple conclusion: something is wrong and the clues that are given won’t yield a solution; they only show how far-reaching the wrongness is. As the scene unfolds, this unnerving feeling ensures that each element and its constituent parts add up to a sense of mystery and wonder, keeping the viewer engaged.
