Cliff Young LTD is pleased to present Mary Ann Strandell, "Constructions and Transmissions", a solo exhibition of paintings and 3D lenticular print media in our Lexington Ave showroom. "Constructions and Transmissions" exhibition examines various architectural and chinoiserie themes in my work. The towers, construction sites, and Shunga patterns are metaphors of the hyper changing landscape in urbanity. They are formed by photographing and activating information that comes up through my observations, as a kind of transmission of ideas, in both my research, and the structures constantly being built around me. The city, as part of the landscape tradition, reverses itself, to a form of 'de stijl', in my studies of the urban construction sites. These works are two fold: painterly on the one hand, and digitally montaged as lenticular media, on the other.

A couple years ago I began painting Apple store interiors and Period Rooms from The Met as a way to consider huge shifts in historic and technologically rich spaces. I started painting Hudson Yards construction sites since it’s inception, often walking between my Chelsea studio and the Hudson River ferry. The partially built structures reveal a mass intensity, in a way that the completed buildings do not, and my work performs this moment. Some of the pairings allude to a sense of the buildings being built, and yet one can feel them as dissolving; they are dynamic structures.

The Los Angeles works take on a both intimate and expansive space. The "Beverly Hills Vista" is a view from a top floor office building which brings on a vertiginous play between patterned oil markings, and the expanded horizon. The "Megan Draper “ lenticular series, transformed from hand painted-scenes of TV’s Mad Men reveals a small 1970’s interior as the backdrop of a floating, collaged narrative; with looming drones, butterflies, and museum porcelains. Other lenticular print media combine drawn structures embedded in abstract repetitive pattern, as another architectural sequencing. The descriptive, discursive nature of these works are less about the actual places I have rendered, and more about considerations of time and the theatre of change.

Mary Ann Strandell Statement +Bio

Statement:
Strandell’s works are a movable terrain between image, media and their myriad histories. Her ideas of perception and time explore the paradox of mediated images through painting, 3d lenticular, moving-image and installation. Using imagery of cultural memes, she bring into the minds-eye a query of location, placement and source. Drawn from the internet and her own photography, the works arc to include a mash of notable mid-century and modernist buildings, New York City construction sites, renditions of period rooms and porcelain objects from the ancient and contemporary trade routes. There is a constant process of visual translation in her work. From the site-made photo documenting oil paintings, to the 'staged for the archive’ internet image, or the casual note of found photography, these speculative transcriptions are set in motion. Her primary sources of traditional oil painting and drawings are often re-engineered from single planar views into the multivalent 3d lenticular media.
