Gregory Lind Gallery is pleased to present Redivider, an exhibition of works on cutout paper by New York based artist Jim Gaylord. This is his fourth one-person show with the gallery.
At face value, the title Redivider is a palindrome and evokes the symmetry within much of the work. Moreover, it references the methodology behind this series, where compositions from earlier paintings were deconstructed and then reconfigured into new ones. Sometimes this was achieved by rearranging the imagery through drawings or digital composites. In other cases, actual works on paper were physically sliced up and pieced back together in a different way. To redivide, or divide again, becomes this act of revisiting past ideas by breaking them down and starting again.
Drawing upon his previous work as source material, Gaylord considers the relationship between abstraction, visual reference and process. Whereas his past paintings and works on paper are based on film stills, the current work draws upon intuition to advance a personal visual vocabulary. The most essential ideas rise to the surface and are explored through purely formal means, released from external associations. Throughout the process, the medium of collage allows for spontaneity and play, until the point when everything is fixed into place.
