Angell Gallery is pleased to present the newest work by New York based painters Jason Gringler and Jeremy Chance. The exhibition runs from June 6th to July 4th.

In utilizing a variety of materials and techniques, Jason Gringler’s works achieve a complex visual and physical presence that reflects both the process and the spirit behind their production. The tension and discourse that results from the nature of the materials and the limitations they present (with Gringler’s process of construction, destruction, and reconstruction), contribute to the complexity of his work.

Industrial materials such as Plexiglas, acrylic, spray enamel and mirrors relate to the immediate surrounding of the artist’s studio. Gringler uses what is available to him, whether purchased or sourced directly from the street. The varying textures of the applied paint, combined with variable translucent cut pieces of Plexiglas, give the work a monumental and imposing presence. The work reveals the wooden structure of its own making emphasizing its existence as a constructed and physical object. On the other hand, mirrors and vinyl tape reflect the movement of the viewer as well as the architecture of the surrounding space creating an inclusive and almost cinematic environment. The works are rigid objects but full of movement, heavy and stable yet kinetic and light.

Jeremy Chance’s latest paintings entitled Overdub and Flay appear to reference an echoing noise, something dubbed-out and yet seductive in the way they fall apart, but potentially disturbing or abject in their incongruity. The touchy, scuzzy, filmy surface of the work is particular and wrought, but catching the portrait-like image in a moment of diminishing resolution and static.

Similar to most of Chance’s work, both paintings depict, or at least depart from, a generic illustration of anxiety, depression, or boredom. Jeremy describes this departure as a way to “situate my paintings against a larger context of technological, product driven images and graphics, but using the paint as a way to re-materialize the images and diffuse their psychology into physicality."

Jason Gringler has exhibited with Angell Gallery since he graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) in 2001. His work has been included in numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Since June 2007 Jason has been living in Brooklyn, New York, during this time his work has been included in solo exhibitions at Galerie Stefan Röpke, Cologne, Germany and The Proposition Gallery, New York, NY, and Sloan Fine Arts, New York, NY.

Jeremy Chance is a recent graduate of the prestigious Hunter College M.F.A program in New York. His work has been exhibited in Belgium, New York, Atlanta, and Toronto. This will be Jeremy’s third exhibition with Angell Gallery. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
