Tangled: Gregory Schulte

Employing a masterly technique in oil painting, Schulte approaches painting as a process of exploration and discovery. His paintings make the everyday extraordinary, balancing the line between real and surreal as he creates unforgettable environments through intense studies of the play of light through lush tangles of foliage with uncanny juxtapositions.

In no. 5: vacant rites: selected works from ‘the splinters in our hands’ by ian van d.

For ian van d., America is inhabited by an unnamed presence— a ghostly force which is simultaneously both and neither human and/nor non-human. It permeates all American spaces: urban and rural, vast and tiny. In grappling with this presence, ian van d. manifests its spirit through giving it body and mass in the form of sculptures built from discarded human materials.
