Gallery Bienvenu Presents New Paintings featuring Jim Napierala and Arturo Mallman
August 2, 2008 - September 26, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Location: Gallery Bienvenu, 518 Julia Street
Phone: (504) 525 - 0518
Mesmerizing and complex, the process-intensive paintings of New York City-based artist Jim Napierala superimpose the gestural freedom of Abstract Expressionism atop the rigor of the modernist grid. The paintings are the end result of a working method developed by the artist in 2000 and constantly evolved and adjusted since that time. Methodically taping off sections of a maple plywood panel, Napierala slices into the tape with a blade, creating curvaceous, biomorphic forms with a spontaneity reminiscent of Dadaist automatic drawing. Arturo Mallmann’s luminous paintings follow in this tradition, inviting us into landscapes that are half-geographic, half-psychological, and wholly immersive. Born in Uruguay, Mallmann has led a richly colorful life, residing and traveling throughout South America, Europe, and North America, and within these far-flung adventures lie the aesthetic and experiential influences that inform his haunting work. With acrylics, resin, and varnish, the artist layers and sands coat after coat of materials in a process that, like nature itself, is by turns additive and substractive. His austere compositions are often coalesce around the eternal motif of the horizon line, harkening to our primal human capacity for awe.

All of the pieces were produced by participants in the Hyogo-NOMA Children's Art Therapy Initiative, which has offered art therapy sessions at schools throughout the New Orleans area and at free day camps at the Museum. "The works express sincere emotions about the children's experiences with Hurricane Katrina," said Holly Wherry, the professional art therapist who has been on staff at NOMA since 2007 and who coordinated the sessions that led to this exhibition. "You see how they are coping three years after the storm, and you see their immense pride in New Orleans. All of the participating children have given permission for their art to be exhibited publicly in order to communicate their experiences and educate the public about art therapy.
