Hawthorne Contemporary
Hawthorn Contemporary is pleased to present its first two-person exhibition, CHAMBERS & WEINBERG, featuring Dominic Chambers and Samual Weinberg. Both artists render paintings and drawings that involve a translation of pictorial practices and inner mythologies. Chambers uses magical realism and employs concepts such as the Veil, as articulated by W.E.B. Dubois, to examine the black experience in America. Weinberg work features variations on a single recurring character the Pink Man/Pink Men. The hyper and at times absurdly laughable worlds that the Pink Men inhabit reflects the collective yet incoherent voice of modern culture. For each, figures, either in contemplation with themselves or engaged with another, teeter between our reality and another. Chambers and Weinberg both place motifs in their respective work to metaphorically connect their own inner worlds to larger social concerns. The two, pulling from vastly different references and personal experiences, show the breadth of possibility in what narrative art can say and do.
