Opening Reception | Exhibitions: Matt Held's facebook portraits / Johnny Madsen's Red, Yellow and the Blues

Thursday, September 10, 2009, 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Free

The culmination of a series of portraits begun in 2008, this exhibition features more than 40 canvases painted from facebook profile photos. They encompass works which are funny, cool, quirky, and sometimes disturbing. Held's project brings portraiture to the masses via facebook's pandemic social networking site, inviting people to become part of his "group"-which has more than 6,000 members-by volunteering to have their portrait painted. The stipulation is that Held himself chooses which image to render, claiming a position of power as the artist. Held has exhibited nationally, including solo shows at Optic Nerve Arts, Portland; as well as Garage Walk and Stella's, both in Seattle. Selected group shows include Haskins Lab at Yale University; Gallery 364, Brooklyn; and NutureArt, CUE Art Foundation, and Artists Space, all in New York City.

Depicting psychologically charged, provocative, and mysterious figures, Madsen's thickly impastoed acrylic surfaces pulsate with energetically painted primary colors. A legendary rock and blues musician in Denmark since the 1980s, Madsen has been painting for thirty years, and enjoyed notoriety as an artist in the past decade with shows in Denmark, Venice, and London. We are excited to have the opportunity to premier his work in the United States as part of this international tour. Born in Thyborøn, Madsen began drawing and painting at an early age and has developed his practice as a painter in tandem with his musical career. He has exhibited his work widely since the early 1980s, and recently mounted a solo show at Mews42 Gallery in London. Madsen has his own gallery on Fanø, where he paints and exhibits his work. Madsen will perform a selection of his own music.

Shown: Held's "Rick" (2009, oil on canvas)
