This and That: Ron Gorchov and Emily Peacock

by Brandon Zech January 10, 2022

“This and That” is an occasional series of paired observations. See past “This and That” posts here. – Ed.

Today: Curved paintings

A rectangular form painted turquoise. The bottom of the form is rounded, and there are shapes — circles, a rectangle, and an organic shape — on the surface of the object.

Emily Peacock, “Use Storytelling to be more relatable,” 2021, Latex paint on plastic, 18 x 16 x 3 inches. From the artist’s 2021 exhibition “lightweight” at Jonathan Hopson Gallery. Read more about the artist’s work here.

A painting that is rectangular in shape but with rounded edges. The background of the work is turquoise, with a red squiggle shape and a black organic shape painted on the surface.

Ron Gorchov, “Xuthus,” 2018, Oil on linen, 53.5 x 66 x 14 inches

No matter how original, innovative or crazy your idea, someone else is also working on that idea. Furthermore, they are using notation very similar to yours. – Bruce J. MacLennan

Maybe it’s sour grapes, but the “this and that” seems in poor taste when it compares two contemporary artists’ works. Prefer the comparison to an ikea box, etc.
