OUT OF THE SYSTEM at Adjacent To Life

Cosentino_System.jpg

Tinsquo's curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents OUT OF THE SYSTEM by Orianne Cosentino.

From the artist's statement:

OUT OF THE SYSTEM is a small show of large work, a mix of excerpts from the Q U O T A painting series.

The newest abstractions are a departure from the usual Q U O T A landscapes which are largely literal except for the NYC parking tickets that are collected from the ground and collaged into the marrow of each work. For almost two decades those contemptuous pieces of found paper have been a stable base from which to create this series.

Steadfastly incorporating tickets initially represented (to me) the luxurification of NYC and the exacerbating changes of living in a place that was blowing up so quickly - for lack of a better way to put it. We are far past that now living in a complex habitat of determination, exhaustion, love and confusion, in whatever order, seemingly often reprocessing familiar processes. Still here, but not giving up on growth.

Experimenting with abstraction (painting, writing, thinking) forces decisiveness and ushers in newness. A fresh pattern to free old energy, to release stagnation and to invigorate.

OUT OF THE SYSTEM is on view through December 2 at the Adjacent to Life pop-up gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City).
