Marianne Boesky Gallery's exhibition 'Softly Radiant, Half-Buried,' curated by Martyn Cross, features 15 artists whose works connect deeply with themes transcending time and reality. Inspired by Sanford Schwartz's description of Arthur Dove, the exhibit reflects Cross's personal artistic journey following his connection with Dove's work in 1997. The title emphasizes the exploration of in-between moments and sensations, mirroring Cross's own techniques in layering paint, drawing on memories, past artworks, and future visions, all aimed at evoking deep emotional and temporal connections through art.
"There was a realization that I was connecting with a sensation felt by a long dead human; that space, time, and what I knew of as conscious thought was somehow condensed within that painting and the air around it."
"When I'm in the studio, it's as if I'm on sort of a backwards archeological dig - I physically apply layers of paint, continually adding and adjusting color, sometimes scraping it back to reveal former layers."
