From Artspace 111:
“Danville Chadbourne creates art that speaks to timeless themes of materiality and ancient wisdom. Through his works of clay, wood and color he asks us to consider the art object through perception and anthropological theories.” – Margery Gossett, Gallery Director.
Artspace111 is proud to present the latest exhibition DANVILLE CHADBOURNE – ARTIFACTS. This exhibition features a new body of works in both clay and wood, including small and large-scale sculptures, wall-oriented ceramic reliefs and an ongoing series of drawings on wood panels. Chadboune’s work is concerned with evoking spiritual or primal states, using simple organic forms in suggestive conjunctions that elaborate on metaphorical issues of ambiguity, morality, accident/intention, contradiction, or existence itself. There is often an allusion to circumstance, contextual or ritual usage and time, but in a peripheral, indirect or generalized way. The works seem interrelated, part of some culture with an elaborate but undefined mythological structure. His forms, materials, and processes imply cultural attitudes that are harmonious with nature and the passage of time. Clay has associative power archaeologically, responds well to the expressive needs of his ideas and is relatively permanent. Wood, stone, fiber, bone and found objects also have connotative powers. This anthropological perception is a key issue in Chadbourne’s work.
