Dominic Terlizzi, Migration, 2017, acrylic on linen, 10 x 8"
Diane Silver’s exhibition shares our large gallery space with series of small scale, white on white paintings by Brooklyn based artist, Dominic Terlizzi. In this body of work, Terlizzi is a storyteller, baker, gleaner, mold maker, draftsman, tile setter and mosaic artist. Acting as scavenger, the artist titled this series Beachcomber, collecting not only shells, but other simple sundries found around the house such as cookies, crackers, leaves, and coins. He then creates small molds of these objects, casts them in white paint, and assembles these little paint sculptures into collaged assemblages of textural odysseys. Usually the forms represent themselves, but sometimes small bits of plastic or crumbs are shaped into the outlines of migrating birds, or simple faces. Sections of jigsaw puzzle pieces are the purest reminder of the compositional games of construction being mapped out in these complex but playful orchestrations.
