James Esber’s paintings are inherently punchy, with a bold, fluoro-pop palette and active surfaces. In My Thing, Your Thing, and the Thing Itself at Satchel Projects, it is compounded by the intimate quarters as well as the scale of the works, most roughly the size of the average viewer. One can pivot in place and take in the entire exhibit with a quick rotation that may trigger a rush of associations, from Hairy Who Chicago to Ed Roth “Weirdo,” et al. It can take a moment to pause, regard each work in turn, and register the artist’s point of view.

Ever wonder what faculty do with their summers? We travel, we walk on the beach, we nap, we exercise, we read, we eat ice cream. And we make work. Professors are not only educators, but also practicing artists and designers who continue to explore, create, and contribute to the larger creative community. Throughout this week we will be sharing what some of the Foundation Studies professors created during their time away from the classroom.

If you would like to see more, join us for the opening reception of the

In a series of short conversations I ask an artist two questions about their work and process.

PETER SCHROTH

MH: Your paintings are nonrepresentational landscapes, based less on observation than a spontaneous interpretation of the natural world. You state that “Nature operates as a reflection of ourselves…”, and I’m curious if you see painting, both the process and the finished canvas, as inherently self-reflective?

PS: I would say that my finished works, if not necessarily the process, are generally self-reflective, and I would admit that I am representative of the cliché, “the artist paints himself.” The degree to which this may be true varies immensely among artists and may be more or less apparent in their work. In my case, I do feel it is quite plainly evident in certain compositions that employ a particular value range or palette. I guess I am merging the subject with my interior view, and I have often thought of some of these works as self-portraits. In my artist statement, I suggest that the landscape is an image or idea possessing a character that is naturally reflective of human society and its struggles.

MH: You paint en plein air, most recently in Central Park, and you state that it’s essential to work on site rather than from photographs. And yet the paintings are often abstracted to the point of being unrecognizable as landscapes, which suggests that something else is filtering through. Is this the human element that you refer to—neither landscape nor portrait, but a middle ground that embodies both?

PS: The short and simple answer is - yes. Less simply, I am a painter who draws inspiration or visual stimulation from nature but does not want to make landscape paintings. A recent visitor to the studio remarked ‘so these are landscapes/not, working with but against the subject.’ I am representing an experience over a depiction, such as a photograph provides. But I would extend the idea of experience saying that it consists of the subject before me along with all versions of it I have painted in the past, and equally, my acquaintanceship with the history of painting.

Tom McGlynn continues to grow a decade-long train of thought with a new selection of paintings in This Here at Rick Wester Fine Art. Consistent with his oeuvre, he arrays a selection of color rectangles suspended within various fields of color. An acquaintanceship with the origin of this direction, accompanied by a fresh pair of eyes, will enable a viewer to put aside the parallels with Mondrian, Albers, or even Hans Hoffmann, and see these works anew.
