LIVING LANDSCAPES - EGON SCHIELE
17 OCT, 2024 - 13 JAN, 2025
“Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes” will investigate the importance of landscape in the Austrian artist’s work. Plants, natural environments, and townscapes determine the spaces Egon Schiele created in his paintings, and they also reflect the rich symbolism he employed that is centered around the human condition. In particular, plants are often endowed with an allegorical meaning. Flowers and trees assume the role of portrait subjects and convey an almost human appearance. Schiele’s landscapes always represent more than their apparent subject matter. His portrayal of nature and his rendering of towns and trees epitomize the life cycle and the human condition.

IMAGINED STUDIES -INDIANA HOOVER
18 OCT - 10 NOV 2024
Thomas VanDyke Gallery is pleased to present Imagined Studies, a collection of new paintings by Indiana Hoover. The works in this series follow Hoover’s tradition of collecting from his inner motivations to find inspiration, using his mind’s eye to infer forms. He breaks things down with his imagination and puts them back together with his brush. These are real people, not because they have been brought to life by the artist’s will, but rather because they have been channeled by his curiosity. Like a song that has always existed, even before it was written, a collection of sounds in nature, Hoover’s paintings have been arranged and composed from what he sees in the world. His portraits may look familiar to you because they are the people all around us. The person ahead of you in line at the grocery store, the woman on stage in the video you saw, the man asleep on the subway after a long day at work, maybe even the stranger you thought you saw in the mirror. Hoover’s paintings bring comfort through his unique blend of approximation and precision. His work has layers like an ongoing story, nuance like a dream you can almost remember, and flavors both comforting and exotic.
