Glowlab is pleased to present “New Works,” an exhibition by emerging multi-media artist Jason Cantoro. Cantoro takes North American urban cultural memory as a starting point for densely layered landscapes that push the limits of printmaking through a unique combination of painting, silkscreen printing and drawing. Remixing images of the past and present in nostalgic yet unsettling compositions, his mixed-media works portray spaces charged with potential where abandoned urban structures, characters from past eras and found, forgotten ephemera merge with delicate patterns and visual textures.
Cantoro’s new series represents a technical and creative breakthrough in silkscreen printing, from works on paper to multi-layered, screened collages on wood panels. Using special inks, Cantoro has discovered and developed a new means of printing images directly on wood to create texture and depth with a stunning, atmospheric quality. Glowlab Director Christina Ray states, “Jason’s latest works reflect influences both old and new where the dreamlike fluidity of the Impressionist movement meets the sampling, repetition and sonic layering found in DJ culture.”
Jason Cantoro was born, lives and works in Montréal.
Exhibition dates: November 13 – December 14, 2008
Gallery hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 12–6pm
Location: 30 Grand Street between Thompson Street and 6th Avenue New York, NY 10013 Travel info: A/C/E train to Canal Street
Admission: free
