Mindy Solomon Gallery

We live in a fractured world. I’ve always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.—Anish Kapoor

Mindy Solomon is pleased to present a trio of gallery artists working primarily in the medium of clay. Pushing the boundaries of abstract expressionism through surface and form, each artist brings a unique perspective to the reasons behind their work and the resulting objects. Francie Bishop Good discusses her journey to this current exhibition:

“Working in clay has opened doors to a magical and quirky world. What seemingly started as a therapy to the tumultuous times, evolved into unconventional sculptures that act as both optimistic and protective forms. Spontaneously molding, coiling and pinching without any previous planning gives the role of chance, a primary force in my art making practice. After bisque firing, I begin the process of painting, and combining. The immediacy of vinyl and synthetic paints fulfills my childlike wonder. Paint might travel throughout my studio, onto a flat wood board that could become paired with a sculpture. In the end the dialogue between sculpture and painting becomes blurred. As with all the other forms of art that I have worked with, I invite the unruly and rawness in each media to find their voices. “ Andrew Casto utilizes his art practice in order to manage stress and create a sense of order.
