JENNE CURRIE | Exhibition in Venice, Italy : ASSOCIAZIONE CULTURALE CASTELLO | Castello 780

Overview
From July 15 through September 10 2023, Jenne Currie presents her sculpted paintings at the Associazione Culturale Castello 780 gallery in Venice, Italy. 

Jenne Currie’s paintings balance sculptural space against the limits of the two-dimensional substrate. The shadows made by the suspended forms are influenced by the shifting ambient light. These ever-changing silhouettes allow the passage of time and its accompanying shadows to serve as painterly components alongside pigments and mediums. There is an intense musicality to the artworks as they invoke the rhythm of dance, the convergent harmonies of sound and the suggested contours of instruments. The restricted palette and exuberant forms make for paintings that demand multiple viewings to ascertain the constantly shifting space.

About Castello 925

Castello 925 is a multi-disciplined gallery which serves as a crucible for the visual arts, literature and culture. Founder Luca Caldironi envisioned a space dedicated to creativity, or rather cre-activity, an all-embracing 360-degree innovative nexus offering plenty of opportunity for imagination. Castello 925 is a gallery where experimental expressions of all kinds come to meet, collaborate, improvise, produce and construct; a place to present “finished” works that were built elsewhere, yet also a space where new ideas and new co-operations come to life. Castello 925 provides room to live and breathe — not just for exhibitions, but support for the everyday life of an artist, the quietude of  a writer’s research, or the exchange between passionate art-seekers and collectors.

 
 ITALIANO: 

(Venezia, It): Castello 925 presenta una mostra per due persone di collage scultorei di Jenne Currie e piccoli dipinti ad olio di Tracy Phillips che inizirà il 22 luglio e proseguirà fino al 10 settembre 2023 con un vernissage per gli artisti sabato 22 luglio dalle 18:30 - 20:30 presso Castello 780, Venezia IT. Entrambi questi artisti hanno esposto molto negli Stati Uniti e questa è la loro prima mostra in Italia.

I dipinti di Jenne Currie bilanciano lo spazio scultoreo contro i limiti del substrato bidimensionale. Le ombre create dalle forme sospese sono influenzate dalla mutevole luce ambientale. Queste sagome in continua evoluzione consentono al passare del tempo le ombre che le accompagnano di fungere da componente pittorica insieme a pigmenti e mezzo.

Castello 925:

Castello 925 è una galleria multidisciplinare che funge da crogiolo per le arti visive, la letteratura e la cultura. Il fondatore Luca Caldironi ha immaginato uno spazio dedicato alla creatività, o meglio alla cre-attività, un nesso innovativo a 360 gradi che abbraccia tutto e offre molte possibilità di immaginazione. Castello 925 è una galleria dove espressioni sperimentali di ogni genere si incontrano, collaborano, improvvisano, producono e costruiscono; un luogo per presentare opere “finite” che sono state costruite altrove, ma anche uno spazio dove prendono vita nuove idee e nuove collaborazioni. Castello 925 offre spazio per vivere e respirare, non solo per le mostre, ma anche per la vita quotidiana di un artista, la quiete della ricerca di uno scrittore o lo scambio tra appassionati cercatori d'arte e collezionisti.
