Joanne Ungar
PAIN RELIEF
on view through March 31st, 2019
ARTIST TALK: SUNDAY MARCH 24th, 2PMJoin us Sunday March 24th at 2PM for an artist talk with Joanne Ungar. Joanne will be discussing her new work in our current exhibition, Pain Relief. This solo show features large scale pigmented waxworks which embed evidence of current available methods to relieve physical or mental suffering. All the artwork in this show contains boxes for products that deliver pain relief, items for either numbing ourselves or for altering our reality.
Among these items are alchohol, OTC medications, Rx medications, confections, cosmetics, and digital toys. These poured wax paintings by Joanne Ungar are composed with the geometric forms of recycled packaging, and layered and infused with pigmented wax. Ungar’s complex sense of color transforms base patterns through multiple luminous strata of graded hues, overlaid with controlled density to either obscure or reveal the accumulated layered color. Her luminous wax paintings are created with refined, purified beeswaxes and commercial grade paraffins with very high melting points, creating work that is archival and stable.
