From October 2nd to November 2nd, BoxHeart Gallery presents Tony Cavalline: Say Nothing of my Fable, new mixed media paintings that explore the subjectivity of memory and the mythologizing of experience.
Cavalline uses motifs of mythology and narrative archetypes to present a story of paths, journeys, and wayfinding in his artwork. With suggestions of labyrinths both natural and built, Cavalline incorporates found materials such as maps, handwritten notes, and other ephemera (thread and string, feathers, stones, horns) to reflect the idea of a world seemingly formed of tactile scraps of consciousness. He mixes materials to depict walls, ladders, and path markers in an ambiguous pictorial plane, where there is no clear delineation between the 3D world of the image and the viewer’s world of paint, materials, and canvas. Through lyrical mark making and sculptural details, the personal visions Cavalline shares seek to offer viewers an unexplored perspective on the way our actualities form into memories, and so into identity.
