Cindy Rucker Gallery is pleased to present Wet, a two-person exhibition featuring work by David Schoerner and Lyndsy Welgos which proves that minimalism is not without expression. Wet brings together work which is quiet in composure, yet filled with passion. Both artists will be featuring a series that make use of traditional methods while exploring the parameters of modern photography.
Primarily working with photography and works on paper, David Schoerner assembles seemingly disparate images into a new geography where time has expanded and memory is reconfigured. For Wet, he will be showing long exposure polaroids which resemble abstract watercolors with hues and values that shift across a minimal composition. Schoerner’s seemingly simple images act as echoes of time, marking each of his studio days since January of 2012. Similarly, Lyndsy Welgos’ work implies the framework of time through the traditional and digital methods as she focuses on the function and dysfunction of the modern photography process. Superimposing a sweeping digital veil over her models, she obstructs the male form, stealing them out of a classical existence while simultaneously highlighting the architectural structures of her subjects body.
David Schoerner (born 1984 in Reno, Nevada) is an American artist living and working in New York City. He received his BFA at Montserrat College of Art. Schoerner has had solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and Oslo and has been included in group exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Hong Kong. In 2007 Schoerner founded Hassla Books where he publishes and edits artists books with emerging and established artists.
Lyndsy Welgos (born 1981 in Montgomery, Alabama) is a visual artist based in New York City. Her work has recently been exhibited at Rawson Projects, Nada Miami, Andrew Edlin Gallery, and P.P.OW. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, V Magazine, Flash Art, as well as The Daily Star Lebanon. Her work was exhibited at Nada Miami 2012 with Rawson Projects and featured in a solo show with the gallery in February 2013.
