FEATURED SHOW: BYRD IS BACK |
Venice artist Jerry Byrd, will show artworks from the 1970s through current works at Gallery 478 in San Pedro, May 3 through July 27, 2012. Gallery 478 478 West 7th Street, San Pedro. Gallery 478 |
Venice artist Jerry Byrd was included in the recent Pacific Standard Time (PST) exhibition "Best Kept Secret: UCI and the Development of Contemporary Art 1964-1971" at the Laguna Art Museum. Byrd was represented by graphite works similar to those included in this current exhibition. Byrd's 1970s phenomenological, wind-blown graphite works yield delicate, asymmetrical compositions simultaneously evocative of Chinese and Japanese landscape painting. "We see this show as an extension of the Getty's Pacific Standard Time. The artworks of earlier days in Los Angeles continue to be of great interest," said Ray Carofano of Gallery 478.
In the middle 1970s critic Sandy Ballatore described Byrd's work described by as "tough, process-driven, and savvy for energizing simple compositions with rich surface treatments and perfect accidents." Byrd carries this aesthetic to more intimately scaled works on paper throughout the 1980s. Current works remain focused on process with "dense, layered paintings on paper that incorporate stenciled patterns and brushwork reveal Byrd upping the ante by complicating the stew.
Byrd's career began immediately upon earning an MFA degree in 1972 at UCI where he studied with notable artists Ed Moses, Billy Al Bengston and Craig Kauffman. His work has been shown at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, La Jolla Art Museum, Tortue and Grapestake galleries, and Orange County Museum of Art. |
