Richard Tuschman: HOPPER MEDITATIONS

open to the public August 18 – October 29, 2017
Members' Opening & Preview: Thursday, August 17, 6:30-8:30 PM
​
Edward Hopper House is pleased to present Richard Tuschman: Hopper Meditations from August 18 through October 29, 2017.   In these photographs, Tuschman (b. 1956) pays homage to Edward Hopper’s unique vision by creating staged scenes of fictional narrative “moments” that echo in subject and mood many of Hopper’s renowned images.  While the effect may recall Hopper’s iconic paintings, Tuschman’s process is much different.  He starts by building dollhouse-sized dioramas with painstaking precision and detail.  He photographs the diorama and then incorporates images of live models--including himself--into the scene.  Tuschman’s pictures, like Hopper’s, are imbued with a sense of anticipation, ambiguity and often sexual tension.   
 
Trained as a painter and printmaker, Tuschman began experimenting with digital imaging in the early 1990s with the introduction of Photoshop: “Photoshop came naturally to me, and seemed much more analogous to painting and printmaking (which was good for me) than a traditional darkroom. After that, my career in photo-illustration took off.”  He has exhibited his work throughout the US and abroad.  Awards include the Prix de la Photographie Paris (Gold Medal, People's Choice), Critical Mass Top 50, International Kontinent Awards (1st Place, Fine Art Projects) and Center Project Launch Juror's Award (chosen by Roger Watson, Fox Talbot Museum). His photographs have can be seen on book covers and have been published in numerous online publications including Slate, LensCulture, LensScratch and Huffington Post.  In 2016 he was named a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow in Photography. He lives and works in New York City.

Mercedes Helnwein: Chaos Theory

May 26 – August 6, 2017
 
With her series of oil pastels entitled Chaos Theory, Mercedes Helnwein (b. 1979) seeks to capture “the weight of quiet moments, and the triggers for chaos buried in them… the domestic cosmos and its fallout.” Born in Vienna, Austria, Helnwein now divides her time between Ireland and Los Angeles. The “American way of life” – seen from a European perspective – plays a big part in her work. She focuses on suburban American adolescence: living rooms, Halloween, prom, family members, and television sets, looking at these scenes of daily life through a “claustrophobic” lens.  The stories depicted take on an obsessive quality as she returns to the subjects over and over to capture the accidental emotions that she believes these moments betray.  Helnwein will also be presenting two films, Cops, and Nurses, which present enigmatic and disquieting scenes of mundane workplace inter- actions.  The Hopperesque quality of her films and oil pastels, from the ambiguous dynamics of the relationships to the slice-of-life drama, recalls many of Hopper’s iconic masterworks.  Hopper once said, “The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm, and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design.” Helnwein picks up the challenge of depicting that vast and varied realm, and her explorations will, no doubt, elicit countless new possibilities.

This exhibition is curated by Carole Perry.  A fully illustrated catalogue is available.  Click here for information.

​Rock, Paper, Scissors: ​
​Suzanna Frosch, Polly King, John Rosis

​curated by Joanne Howard

​
open to the public March 10 – May 21, 2017 
Members' Opening & Preview: Thursday, March 9, 6:30 – 8:30 PM  
​
These artists share a fierce commitment to formal structure as they collage and layer materials to create space and depth. The exhibition is curated by Rockland County sculptor and installation artist, Joanne Howard. Ms. Howard notes how the artists' works – though wide in interpretation – are connected by a sense of restraint without sacrificing elegance or lushness.

Polly King uses free-association in her work as she searches for materials that “add something of a story line or a literal reference.” The curator notes that the “relationship between King’s personal mark making and the mechanized collage elements is central to the works’ dynamic tension.

This battle between personal and other is also a keystone to Suzanna Frosch's works on paper.”  Her found objects mark the passage of time and, Frosch says, “possess their own narrative, each a silent reminder of their personal history.” Weaving human mark-making combined with text-based collage elements based on rigid order, Frosch’s work evokes symmetry found in nature as well as “awkward incongruities and precarious balances.”

For John Rosis, process drives his work across various mediums. Taking subtle cues from nature, Rosis' work displays a bold, measured simplicity. Ms. Howard notes his “exploration embraces restraint without the disruption of outside forces.”

Hopper Home for the Holidays

November 16, 2016 - January 31, 2017

Over the years, Edward Hopper sent numerous handmade cards  and illustrated notes to his family during the holidays.  These intimate messages reveal a more humorous side to Hopper rarely seen in exhibitions of his work.
