SIDE QUESTS @ the ella sharp museum

A solo exhibition of paintings by Timothy Gaewsky
​March 16 - July 7, 2019

SIDE QUESTS: Paintings by Timothy Gaewsky 
DATES:
March 16 - Exhibition opens (no reception)
April 27 - Reception and Artist Talk, time TBD
July 7 - Exhibition Closes
**Additional programming info and events to come

​
Ella Sharp Museum
3225 Fourth Street
Jackson, MI 49203
​

HOURS:
Sunday: 12pm – 5 pm
Monday: Closed
Tuesday/Wednesday: 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Thursday: 10:00 am – 7:00 pm
Friday/Saturday: 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Side Quests are optional sections in a video game, commonly found in RPG or role-playing games, which deviate from the main storyline. One purpose for these smaller missions is to enhance the game experience by providing the player with further background to the settings their characters are in and a sense of discovery as new areas on the map are revealed. The paintings in Side Quests are Gaewsky's attempt to advance the map to an ever expanding world he's creating for himself. For Gaewsky, each painting operates as a proverbial screenshot of an area on the map where viewers, in essence, assume the role of the gaming character, exploring new areas as they move from painting to painting. 

The exhibition consists of two interrelated series, Gaewsky's Homage series and Hybrid Landscapes. The Homage series of paintings consist of augmented visual elements from some of his favorite video games. In some paintings, he has chosen a certain stage of a game for its composition, color scheme or iconic resonance. Gaewsky's interested in reducing the dynamical visual information in a game down to a more minimal interpretation in the painting. All character sprites and graphic pixelations are eliminated from the compositions, resulting in a simplified, reductive painting aesthetic.

For the Hybrid Landscapes, his process involves playing an array of Nintendo NES and Super Nintendo games where he'll take screenshots of stages from different games, select various visual assets and make digital files using Photoshop. He then use Photoshop to layer the different assets to construct an amalgamated and modified game environment. This template is transferred onto the painting surface and becomes a point of departure, allowing for a transformative creative process to happen at the easel. While these new hybrid landscapes become settings for his own developing narratives, some visual elements may appear familiar and the original game source identifiable, inciting a quasi-nostalgic experience for those who might have enjoyed playing these games from that era.

Skill Tree @ Honey Ramka Gallery w/ unibrow

2/10/2019

0 Comments

 
Skill Tree is a collaborative exhibition and auction with Uni-brow.com. Twenty artists were asked to make small works on paper that will be exhibited at Honey Ramka (Brooklyn, NY) while simultaneously being auctioned online.

A Skill Tree in role playing games refers to a hierarchical visual representation of customizations a player can make to their character. The player can choose a branch with certain skills that start very weak, but with time and persistence become more powerful and narrow in scope. For studio artists, the realization of having chosen the wrong branch doesn’t come until a year after an MFA when the first payment on their student loan is due. Re-starting on a different branch is humbling and painful. The skill tree isn’t benevolent or wise. It doesn’t give you advice--just choices. The artists chosen for this exhibition are experts ranging from levels 10 to 15 along the branch of creating unique, hand-crafted objects of art. Their class weakness is health insurance.

Unibrow is an online art platform that connects artists to collectors through the auction process. Curated artists upload the work they want auctioned and receive 80% of the final bid.

Dates:
Opening (no reception): Friday, Feb. 15
Auction starts online: Sunday, Feb. 17
Auction ends and closing reception: Friday, Feb. 22, 6-9pm, auction ends at 8:30pm Eastern time
Last day to see work before shipping: Sunday, Feb. 24​

My painting made the back cover of the catalogue for the NewNow 2018 exhibition organized by the Artists Archives of the Western Reserve.  
​
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 13th, 6-8:30pm
Dates: September 13 – October 18, 2018
Exhibition Location: Tri-C’s Gallery East, 4250 Richmond Road, Highland Hills, OH 44122

2018 marks the third incarnation for the NewNow, and this year’s exhibition was the most competitive to date, with a total of 55 works selected from nearly 550 entries made by 172 individual artists.

The NewNow is set apart from the throng of other regional juried art exhibitions, through its consistent use of a highly qualified, non-regional juror.  “The NewNow offers local artists a unique opportunity to get their work in front of fresh eyes and seeks to rise above the local art politics which can often lead to the same artists being selected for shows repeatedly.” explains AAWR Executive Director Mindy Tousley.

I'll be having an artist talk on Sunday, February 25, at 3:00 pm, in conjunction with my solo exhibition, 'Castles in the Air'. Local arts professional, Michelle Epps, will lead the discussion, using the show as a catalyst for deeper contemplations on childhood experiences, nostalgia, and disjointed memories. This artist talk is free and open to the public. Michelle also wrote the exhibition catalogue essay.

Michelle Epps is the Community Engagement Manager for SPACES. She received her MA in History with a Specialization in Museum Studies from Cleveland State University in 2009 and a Certificate in Nonprofit Organizations from Case Western Reserve University in 2010. Currently she serves as the National EMP Network’s Board President. She also serves on the Board of the Ohio Museum Association, member of the Kent State University’s MuseLab Advisory Committee, and a member of the Museum Education Advisory Council for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

Castles in the air

Picture
Art on Madison is pleased to present Castles in the Air, a solo exhibition by Cleveland based painter, Timothy Gaewsky, opening February 2, 2018 - March 2, 2018. Castles in the Air explores Gaewsky’s personal nostalgia for the retro 8-bit video games that he played growing up in the 1980’s and early ’90’s. Gaewsky’s colorful and whimsical paintings appropriate and manipulate design elements and visual cues from some of his favorite games. Gaewsky is interested in ways his new arraignments of modified game references might spark a sense of nostalgia, i.e. a sentimental yet deceptive or false memory associated with games from that era.

Nice little mention of my painting in the exhibition review:

"Other works have a more explosive impact, including Timothy Gaewsky’s acrylic-and-latex-house-paint-on-wood “Undiscovered Horizon,” which owes something to the artist Peter Max in its bold depiction of a kind of Candyland, with lollipop swirls dotting the sky and candy canes bobbing in the water. "
