ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Magic Magic is a collaboration between the artists Justin Witte and Olivia Schreiner. Taking its name from the illusion and mystery of paint, Magic Magic contains paintings that highlight the infinite possibilities for “magic” within a repeated structure. Magic is here defined as the moments within painting that defy an immediate understanding and create wonder and questioning in the viewer and maker alike.

In an attempt to find these points of magic within painting Witte and Schreiner have created a number of paintings and works on paper based on their interpretations of several snapshots taken during shared travels. The images have been altered and simplified according to the interests of each artist thus creating a platform to explore the painted space where there is a fluctuation between imagery and abstraction, focus and expansion, illusion and material.
