When you look in eyes you can only look into one at a time, unless you’re further away and aligned perfectly with mirrored feature spacing features new paintings by Torey Thornton. This is our second exhibition with the artist since he joined the gallery in 2013.
What does air look like, baby oil in water, I don’t own any Burberry but the fabric, when cropped, either becomes hard edge abstraction or a monochrome, your choice, their choice, depending on how deep the cut. No matter how it’s rendered: the viewer as master of the Painting.
A Cotton on a stick, to the Merci sheets that are always a forgotten purchase, to the many selvedge denims touching new balances; It all comes from one home.
All things on a spectrum and sliding around in relation and context, a Subaru Baja next to any Tesla, a Tesla next to a Tank. Rough to smooth, slow versus fast, big, small. Touch. The subsections and spectrums, even Painting as obviously non-binary.
Push into paint, painting, then push outside of paint for fear of boredom, as Japanese walls aren’t always 90 degrees. Brains grow less smooth this way. –Torey Thornton
