One of the more important
aspects of Bill Leech's
paintings is the overall
rhythmic and patterned
design of the piece,
somewhat influenced by
tapestry, quilts and the
decorative arts. The cutting
of elaborate precise
stencils has worked its
way into making his
paintings.

Trio to Show at PanAmerican Art Projects
PanAmerican is opening the new season with the works of Pablo Soria and
Luis Camejo in the main gallery and Ryder Cooley in the project room.
Pablo Soria’s bucolic views of his country originate from selected fragments of
his memories. His photographs of desolated landscapes and ruins of
buildings show fragments of his past. Pablo is selecting and shooting these
images like his memoirs.
Luis Camejo’s paintings are cityscapes, revealing his urban background. His
interest in documenting the city is related to a sense of loss, a recording
process aiming at preserving the past. His use of color reflects his view of
deteriorated surroundings, a city in ruins.
In the project room is the artwork of Ryder Cooley. Her delicate drawings
seem to be inspired by her dreams and in her childhood. She has developed
a very personal iconography; creating her own fantasy world.

Michelle Concepción, a 38-year-
old Puerto Rican artist, applies
layers of color, first in broad
sweeps, then dribbled from the
tip of a smaller brush, before
lifting the edge of the stretched
canvas to allow rivers of paint to
flow down its surface.
Contributing to the varying
interpretations of her paintings is
their unique illusion of texture.
“She has developed a method of
painting that creates a realistic
appearance of a rough, deep
texture—like the surface of an
asteroid—despite the flat
surfaces of her canvases,” notes
gallery owner Virginia Miller. “It’s
an amazing technique that simply
can’t be appreciated from a photo
or on a computer.”

Michelle Concepción’s most recent abstractions, evocative of cellular forms or
ancient asteroids, are painted in a limited palette in blue, white and gray on a rich
black background. Their soft, dreamy shapes appear to be floating in a
bottomless abyss, visual meditations that invite the mind to wander among them.

Hurricane Projects - Weird, Fanciful, Rather Unusual
September 13 - November 1, 2008
Hurricane Projects is an annual event at The Moore Space loosely gathering artists' works under
an informal concept. This year's subtitle is borrowed from "Dark of the Moon: Poems of Fantasy
and the Macabre", a 1947 anthology of weird poetry from the Middle Ages to the present day. A
selection of works refer to the psychological edge where fantasy and macabre meet and play out,
either through the use of pathetic fallacy; or by making references to historical events; or, in some
cases works allude to transformation by deformation and mutation.
Artists include among others: Nicole Eisenman, David Altmejd, Darren Almond, Justin
Leiberman, Pepe Mar, Jim Drain, Naomi Fisher, Jon Pylypchuk, Paul McCarthy and Gregor
Schneider.

In the New York Times, William Zimmer said "His work has a deliberately
hazy appearance, as if many figures are out of his dreams, or out of our
collective dreams."
