Robert Hardgrave and Casey O'Connell at BLK/MRKT
BLK/MRKT Gallery is proud to present a two-person show featuring new
paintings by Seattle’s Robert Hardgrave and San Francisco’s Casey
O’Connell. In addition to non-collaborative new paintings they will be creating
a site-specific installation that is not to be missed. This exhibition will run July
15, 2006 through August 19, 2006. An opening reception will take place on
Saturday July 15 from 7:00pm to 11:00pm.
Both O’Connell and Hardgrave’s processes and their paintings are in a
sense completely opposite, yet they share a fascination with symbolism and
ritual; each of them deliberately encodes their private experiences into their
painting. Following different paths and speaking in different tongues, they
have each found a way to express and transcend private terrors through the
creation of art whose dark, edgy beauty represents a reconciliation with the
past and faith in the future.
