LES Studio Program Artists – Spring 05

Jeffrey Gibson

“My paintings use acrylic inks, oil paint, and pigmented silicone to describe a conceptual space that I call The Infinite Anomaly. The most recent paintings suggest an untamed landscape and the animated forms that inhabit this environment. The gestural and dimensional marks seem to crawl, sit, and slither across the surface. They merge with each other and spark new growth like an unstoppable weed or a deadly virus.”

“The core of my investigation is a fascination with our system-oriented society. The work revolves around a process of splicing together various modes of systemic representation such as cartography, perspective, diagrams, and signage.”

“My projects start from creating a variety of characters which root in dreams and subconscious images. The characters unfold narratives by their fantastic reality following a structure of interwoven dream logic, which is full of whimsical imagery looping through a series of imaginary narrative cycles of infantry, dream, death and the beyond.”

“I create sculptural fabric constructions that I invite the viewer to touch, reach into, or climb completely inside, encouraging a rich sensual experience that is as much haptic as it is retinal. The site of this haptic experience creates a blending of viewer and art object.”
