Opening reception Saturday May 22, 6-8 pm.

Stephanie Theodore is pleased to present In Substantiality, an exhibition of work by Andreas Blank, Patrick Caulfield, Daniel Levine, and Richard Paul that examines, eviscerates and subverts expectations of objects -- the standoff between glossy appearance and ephemeral utility, desire and acquisition, substance and superficiality.
The late Patrick Caulfield is one of the most important British painters and printmakers of the past fifty years. A contemporary of the father of Pop, Richard Hamilton, Caulfield shared his interest in the objects of ordinary life, but with a more deliberately decorative approach rooted in popular graphic design.
In a kind of absurdist updating of Caulfield’s bittersweet household things, Richard Paul, a former commercial photographer, creates peculiar encounters of unrelated objects, on a flat, pastel background. Any possible solution to these riddles may not necessarily be found in any language currently spoken; yet they remain seductive.
Andreas Blank doesn’t just depict objects, he creates replacements for them. Blank is a stonecutter by métier. But instead of depicting eternal subjects and themes, he chooses to recreate the ordinary – folded shirts, shoes, boxes, paper airplanes. The temporal nature of objects we buy, make, use and discard is replaced by monumental permanence.
Daniel Levine is a painter of unusual monochrome paintings - off-square works of modest scale and varying depths, with small borders to amplify the paintings' complex surfaces. In the context of this exhibition, Levine’s work offer both a place of reflection and refraction – infinite subjectivity and open ended potential, within a tightly defined practice of painting.
Theodore:Art is a contemporary art gallery and consultancy founded by Stephanie Theodore, presenting exhibitions of works by emerging and established artists from the UK, EU and US, in a variety of settings and contexts.
