Winston Wächter Fine Art is pleased to announce our summer group show entitled Dimensions. This exhibition constructs a dialogue between two and three-dimensional works united by a direct and indirect physical and perceptual exchange. The opportunity to view small-scale paintings, sculpture, and works on paper by artists whose works have spanned decades of the modernist and postmodernist tradition allows us to consider their various media and aesthetic interrelationships. All of the works exhibited in this show convey an interest in the generation of figurative and abstract form and the exploration of physical space.

Jean Arp and Henry Moore exemplify the modernist sculptural tradition. Arp's early Dada and Surrealist-inspired works evolved from the 1930s onward, from reliefs to a fuller generation of form. Henry Moore's fluid sculptures are best known through the reclining figure. However, later in his career he made drawings that were reflective of the sculptural mindset. The other exhibited works focus on the literal and the figural. Robert Indiana's symmetrical configurations comprise vivid colors and surfaces. Eric Fischl's realist, figurative works revolve around themes of suburbia, voyeurism, and longing; forcing us to confront the figure in a disruptive, somewhat disturbing way. Bryan Hunt's abstract figuration exemplifies cascading forms and nuanced, geometric surfaces. James Croak uses a variety of materials to address the human form in a Conceptual and Surrealist way. Robert Taplin's intertwined figures pose a seamless duality of opaque and translucent forms. Bernar Vernet's sculptural works fuse elements of balance, nature, revolution, evolution, and an interaction between humanity and landscape.

Each of these artists addresses figure and form in various ways. The fusion and juxtaposition of diverse media presents an intriguing aesthetic and perceptual exchange. This exhibition creates an opportunity to explore the sculptural process by way of preparatory drawings and fully realized sculpture. However, it also presents a dialogue between fully realized works on paper, paintings, and sculpture which explore cultural symbols like numbers, geometric forms and the human figure. We hope that this presentation of divergent media allows greater insight into the aesthetic dialogue and interrelationship between these small-scale works.
