SUMMARY:Taylor Chapin: Tell Me About Yourself
DESCRIPTION:In her paintings\, Taylor Chapin (b. Encinitas\, CA 1991\, lives and works in Oceanside\, CA) uses bold color\, swirling patterns\, and enigmatically camouflaged figures to reflect a consumerist society that treats beauty and goods as social currency. As our default setting shifts away from anonymity–thanks to technologies that allow us to broadcast\, and often monetize\, every detail of our existence–deciphering the parts of us that feel authentic versus appropriated becomes increasingly challenging. In this new body of work\, Chapin employs the visual strategies of advertising to reflect on this current moment in which our identity has become our brand. \nTell Me About Yourself includes a series of paintings that each feature a decorative vase presented for display by pattern-covered human arms. The vases are painted as flat color gradients\, held lovingly by hands that appear three-dimensional in their realism. The vases are both depthless and infinite\, caressed by hands that seem to curve around an absent form. This generates dimensional confusion\, which Chapin equates to the merging of our digital presence with our physical selves. Vessels like these have long been associated with the human body; their curves often read as reminiscent of the female form. In Chapin’s portrayal of these vases as late-night shopping channel items\, she conflates the objectification of the human form with the fetishization of the object itself. Who\, or what\, we are selling becomes unclear. \nChapin’s paintings are deliberately overstimulating\, almost hallucinogenic\, translating the sensation of consumer culture’s oversaturation into visual form. She describes these works as having a reverse-prismatic effect: “the paintings reflect the multitude of internal and external desires that shape our perceptions of the world and ourselves; through the manipulation of perspective\, depth\, and surface\, I convey a momentary sense of clarity before the chaos returns.” This tension echoes Chapin’s own ambivalence as both a participant in and a critic of capitalist consumption. Her subjects are imbued with a similarly paradoxical sense of desire: to exceed and defy society’s expectations\, to strive for both belonging and individuality. “Taylor’s work opens up a crucial psychological dimension of our season-long examination of consumption\,” says ICA curator Jordan Karney Chaim. “She teases out the surprising vulnerability of the human-object relationship through paintings that are wildly exuberant and seductive.” \nArtist’s Bio\nTaylor Chapin was born and raised in Encinitas\, California. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from San Francisco Art Institute in 2016\, and she graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art from University of California San Diego in 2022. She has shown her work throughout southern California including a solo show with Oceanside Museum of Art\, a showing with Quint ONE\, and group exhibitions with Oolong Gallery\, False Cast Gallery\, and the San Diego Library. She has also recently created public-facing murals in both Leucadia and Oceanside. She lives and works in Oceanside\, California.

SUMMARY:Verso/Reverso: Printmaking as Resistance and Reflection Art Show
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE SHOW:\nVerso/Reverso: Printmaking as Resistance and Reflection presents printmaking works by artists in the Southern California/Baja region. Some of the artists included follow the tradition of political graphics and deal with current topics such as Women’s Rights\, migration and environmental issues. In their hands\, art is transformed into a visual tool of activism and protest. Other artists explore the medium in a reflective way\, playing with scale\, layered color or by incorporating other materials such as embroidery thread\, into the work. \nSupported by Campana Studios\, a non-profit that connects visual artists with the local communities\, this exhibit celebrates the uniqueness of printmaking. The title of the exhibit references the process of creating a printout of a carved or etched block of wood or linoleum. This technique allows for multiple prints to be rendered from the original image which makes it both more accessible and perfect for reaching a wide audience. Some of the blocks used in the production of the prints will be shown side-by-side to demystify and reveal the magic of this process. The exhibition includes established artists who have perfected their craft over several decades and emerging students who have recently been exposed to the medium. Artists prints will be available for sale on the evening of the reception. We encourage you to wear your favorite artist-designed t-shirt to the reception. \nOpening Reception\nOCTOBER 14th 4:00-7:00pm \nAbout the artists:\nAbel Alejandre immigrated to LA from Michoacan as a child. He’s a self-trained printmaker who creates highly detailed works in the tradition of master wood engravers. \nDaisy Camacho is a young artist\, graphic designer and illustrator whose elegant designs include inspiration from nature and popular culture. She has taught workshops for Campana Studios. \nWith a background in illustration\, Morgan Miller the 3rd employs satire in prints that comment on the current political situation. \nChris Lahti is an artist\, master printmaker and teacher who works abstractly with shapes\, colors and textures. The formal concerns in his art grapple with larger questions of our surroundings and place in the world. \nReflecting on his connection to nature and on the embroidery\, tradition inherited from his family in Oaxaca\, Kelvin Lopez multi-media compositions speak to his quest for belonging. \nLos Angeles based Sonia Romero is known for her paper-cut and printmaking aesthetics\, which she incorporates into both her fine art and public art commissions. \nChicana artist Katie Ruiz works in a variety of media and focuses on community engaged projects; she studied printmaking in Guadalajara and uses it as another form of activism. \nJose-Hugo Sanchez is originally from Tijuana and many of his large-scale prints deal with the experiences of migration and the transnational experience. \nOriginally from Germany\, Derek Weiler depicts the male body to capture the essence of what it means to be human rendered in printmaking\, animation and installation. \nRachel Droessler and Gaby Espina are printmaking students at San Diego Mesa College and have already created masterful works.
