LOS ANGELES — March 31, 2006
Stephen Andrews
a small part of something larger
open / Saturday April 15 – six to eight pm
close / May 20
Harvey Levine Gallery is pleased to announce a small part
of something larger, an exhibition of new drawings by Stephen Andrews.
Andrews’ work deals with memory, identity, technology and their representations in
various media. For the drawings in a small part of something larger, Andrews employs a
rubbing technique that recreates the look of four-color photographic reproduction. Each
color layer – cyan, magenta, yellow and black – is drawn using a homemade separation
technique that achieves a series of different dots. These layers result in a moray pattern
that often depicts moments of violence, discovery and hope.
“Stephen Andrews’ art is transitional,” said award-winning filmmaker Atom Egoyan, the
curator of Andrews’ 2004 Cue Art Foundation exhibition. “While it exists in real time,
and employs a masterful control of a variety of media, it is painfully aware of the
process of erosion. Erosion and evolution are at the heart of this artist's work.”
Andrews describes his drawings as “reminiscent of children's book illustration. The
contrast of modern imagery with the pastel color scheme brings to mind the moral tales
of the Brothers Grimm. Gruesome lessons in a candy coating.”
a small part of something larger by will be on view at Harvey Levine Gallery, 5797
Washington Blvd. in Culver City from April 15 through May 20. There will be an opening
reception on Saturday, April 15 at 6:00 p.m.
