Park Proyects is proud to present artist’s Nathan Budoff latest solo exhibition
titled “Murmuration”. Budoff who has a MFA in painting form the SAIC (Chicago
Art Institute) and whom is currently teaching painting at the University of
Puerto Rico (Rio Piedras), has been exhibiting actively in the past years with
his amazing solo exhibition at the Museo de Arte de Caguas titled “Looking Up”
along with curator Elsa Maria Melendez which was a very impressive museum show,
a two man exhibition alongside Carlos Ruiz Valarino at Colburn Gallery at the
University of Vermont and a solo show titled “Retrato” in Recinto Cerra
Alternative space directed by sculptor Jaime Rodriguez Crespo which consisted
in expanded drawings on paper with outlines along the walls in what to my
opinion was one of the best shows of last year.
Budoff
describes the works of the exhibition as an ongoing investigation on the
patterns of nature and things constructed by human beings. He studies the trees
and how they make up different forms and shapes both symmetrical and
asymmetrical. Just like birds in the sky which suddenly disperse and disappear as
they fly and how these patterns vanish in a split second in contrast and
difference to the constructions and spaces where we build our homes and cities.
These
drawings have a high margin of unpredictability because the drawings are not
planned and they get the shape and composition along the way of the creation.
The intense colors used are vital and unexpected in each work. All works get
the elements randomly filling them as the drawing comes along with what felt
natural and appropriate at the time. These are drawings created so everyone can
see the world around us with a set of different eyes and from another
perspective and inspiration.
All the
works exhibited are mixed media drawings on paper sized 11”x 15” and will be
priced at $350. The show will be traveling in the first week of April to the
usual stops at Universidad de Puerto Rico (Rio Piedras) and la Escuela de Artes
Plasticas in Old San Juan. Follow us on twitter for up to date schedules and
follow us on Facebook to see all the works that will be shown and photos of the
