Paul Jeanes: Dead Reckoning
A solo exhibition of recent paintings 
at School 33 Art Center
Opening reception: November 11, 2011, 6 to 9pm
Exhibit runs: 11/11/2011 – 12/23/2011

In his recent ventures into abstraction, Paul Jeanes explores quasi-chance driven processes: dripping, pouring, glazing and scraping in order to build paintings that visualize turbulent chromatic atmospheres where fleeting gestures are at once illuminated and obscured. Jeanes abides by the notion that the visualization of complex thought and a kind of psychosomatic energy can be conveyed through the simplest means of expression possible, in the static slurry of colored pigment on canvas. His current Visions of Excess series explores themes of corrosion, ablation, liquefaction, and stratification through a romantically incidental approach to painting. In this process-driven approach, Jeanes is part color abstractionist and part quixotic alchemist, who instinctively sublimates thought, with time and matter to create his thinly layered, hallucinatory paintings.
