PRESS RELEASE
Elemental Transmissions is a solo exhibition of new work by Alex Markwith created for Laterna Magica. On view from January 13 – 30, the exhibition includes installation pieces, works on paper and wall-hung assemblages which combine aspects of painting and sculpture while incorporating found materials.

Tree branches, cut plywood, chains, plastic, metal, tape, fabric and concrete are collaged together in irregular compositions. Different characteristics of chosen materials result in a play of opposites - natural vs. man-made, light vs. heavy, hard vs. soft, masculine vs. feminine – orchestrated playfully and experimentally within each work to create a sense of unbalanced order. Primarily abstract, many pieces resemble totemic structures. They relate to the human body through their scale, and flirt with representation via recognizable components which occasionally appear unobscured.

IMG_5466.jpg

This series was created alongside the artists’ investigation into alchemy and the classical elements. The concept of “transmission” or “transition” refers to the new patterns of thought brought on by the changing year as well as the artist’s change of environment. As we leave 2020 behind, there is a longing for a better future which can be likened to the desired alchemical change of transmuting a lesser metal into gold.

 

Alex Markwith (b. 1988, Kingston, PA) is an American visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland, where he moved in September 2020 after living and working for nine years in New York City. He holds a BFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design and is a member of Taidemaalariliito. His works are included in numerous private collections, as well as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (TX).

Elemental Transmissions is the artist's first solo exhibition in Finland and is supported by funds from Taike.

From the press release

 

Orchard Galerie is pleased to present AFFECTION, the art exhibition for the opening reception of Taste Café, a place where art meets music. On Saturday, November 23, 6-10 pm at Taste Collection, 83 Rivington St, NY NY 10002. 

 

In the exhibition Orchard Galerie will spotlight artworks by Jessica Matter, Greg Griffith, Amy Stone, Ilya Dorsky, Anastasia Samohovetc, Alex Markwith, Nana S.R. Tinley, Monica Delgado and will showcase one-of-a-kind fashion art pieces by Mary Rosenberger, Rebecca Lipsitch, Kopf and among others. By being presented in a multimedia context,  AFFECTION  seeks to demonstrate how art integrates the whole of perception by immersing guests in an array of experiences (visuals, aromas, flavors and sounds) to enable interactions beyond what’s physically tangible. Notions of rhythm, brushstrokes, vibes, colors, textures, harmonies, expression, cadence, and the like will be liberated and will merge with what the evening has to offer. 
 

Taste Cafe NYC  aims to be a point of contact for art connoisseurs, music lovers, and like-minded individuals seeking inspiration and/or new flavors in an informal gallery-like setting. The space is proudly colorful, confident and artistic. Executive TSISMIS Chef  Jappy Afzelius created a  seasonal menu  for Taste Cafe NYC consisting of pastries and other baked goods using a  new wave of techniques and ingredients such as matcha, ube (purple yam), pandan, among others; as well as a curated selection of the finest coffees and teas.

 

The music line up consists of internationally acclaimed DJ SASHA HART, DJ MC Jay Vallo, DJ Stevo, and more. In additional to music entertainment life-painting with Dj Vallo, Mary Rosenberger and vogue dance performance by Karina Precious.

 

Composed of an international network of art bloggers, social media influencers, taste-makers, photographers, videographers, aspiring curators and other artists; Orchard Galerie offers the resources and support structure for artists to connect with new audiences and markets.

 

Hosted by Orchard Galerie's CEO Daria Mudrova, Art Curator Irina Chistikina,  and Taste Cafe’s music curator Sasha Hart.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Alchemists were notorious for attempting to make synthetic gold, but their goals were far more ambitious: to transform and bend nature to the will of human imagination. “The aim of alchemy, to both imitate nature and transcend it, lies at the heart of artistic practices. Creativity itself can be said to describe a process of going beyond mere imitation—to create a new reality.” – Nora Landes. The Arts Guild of Sonoma invites artists to express their dreams, desires, mysteries, symbols, creativity and enlightenment in ALCHEMY, our third annual National Juried Exhibition.

ABOUT THE JUROR

Jenny Gheith is Assistant Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Gheith previously served as program director for the Society for Contemporary Art and curatorial assistant at the Art Institute of Chicago, and has taught at the California College of the Arts and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

OUTSIDE THE RECTANGLE by Estelle Pyper for BORO Magazine

Stepping into local artist Alex Markwith’s apartment on 33rd Street feels like entering a very private gallery. “Curated” with intention, the focus is on Markwith’s paintings -- ranging from large-scale abstracts with hundreds of brush strokes to 3D works jutting out from the walls. One walk around the apartment tells me more about its owner than any other space I’ve visited.
