 Jess Fuller: Sunset stain. Acrylic, fabric dye & stuffed canvas, 2011, 165 x 180 cm This time, Galleri Tom Christoffersen exhibits a trio of American artists. Jess Fuller and Sam Moyer inhabit the gallery room with paintings made out of various fabric and textiles, while Aspen Mays’ photographs are on display in the Cube. All three of them create their pictures out of existing materials and, each in their own way, focus on themes such as coincidence and order, delineation and fluidity. Process and transformation are leitmotifs in most of the pictures, which however appear beautifully finished in a superb demonstration of what might be called a ‘spherical aesthetics’. Jess Fuller's works take turns with the sculptural as stuffed objects float in free space and unravelled threads describe curves formed by their own weight. Existentialist concepts take on tangible form in the human-like piece that lazily weighs itself down on several levels. Sam Moyer’s pictures consist of fabric glued tightly on panels, where motifs are created in the interaction between folds, fabric colour and bleaching processes. As a kind of rigorously grey-scaled batik patterns, Moyer’s works tie themselves closely with the history of abstract modernism, but also with the very different tradition of landscape paintings, and a physical mimicry of black and white photographic process using domestic materials.
