👋Opening April 23 3-5pm - Hionas Gallery is pleased to present Stephen Maine: Typologies. The gallery will exhibit eight new “residue paintings” that, while emblematic of the artist’s distinctive relief print-like process and chromatically saturated palette, subtly depart from the field-oriented compositions for which he is known.

Maine’s process begins with the creation of composite templates, or relief plates, made using extruded foam, plywood, modeling paste, and other materials. Each plate acts as a compositional blueprint and determines the general distribution of paint across the canvas surface. Maine has fabricated dozens of plates over the last decade. According to the artist, “every plate yields paintings of a certain type,” yet the character of individual paintings is also determined by the vagaries of paint viscosity and opacity, printing pressure, surface preparation, and other variables.

For his recent work, Maine has made modest but telling variations to his process. Several of the newest plates feature “more linear, less atomized” compositional types, and are made with materials (such as poured glue and spray foam) that allow the artist to emphasize drawing. The resulting works feel more fluid, constructs of a visual language that is in tune with nature and somewhat less industrial in feel than previous bodies of work.

Where Typologies doesn’t depart from prior efforts is in its overall effect. In concert with each unique plate, Maine starts each painting with a base of translucent glaze. As individual layers of paint are applied with each pressing, the surface quality and pigmentation of the canvas gradually assumes new characteristics; more layers yield bolder contrasts and a far more discernable push/pull, fewer layers bear more “naked” compositions thus revealing the artist’s process. In each instance, whatever the painting type, the elements are constantly changing.

*Typologies is the artist’s third solo exhibition with Hionas Gallery.

Hionas Gallery is pleased to present Face to Face, a solo exhibition of new and recent oil paintings by artist Andy Cross. This show features a curated selection of double-sided paintings on canvas, all including a portrait on at least one side. As the world entered lockdown nearly two years ago, Cross instinctively turned – and in a sense, ­re­turned – to portraiture, reveling in the resilience and aura of self-empowerment that the practice embodies.

Face to Face will showcase a human-scale oil painting mounted to a movable base in the gallery’s center. Cross’ subjects are oriented to engage with viewers from both sides at eye level as one navigates the space. A selection of smaller double-sided paintings are mounted perpendicularly to the gallery walls, performing a dialogue between the two sides as well as the varied influences that inform them.

Many of art history’s grandest narratives and archetypal imagery are present, implicit in the details and spanning centuries of styles and movements. Within a single frame, Cross may splice gestural abstraction with a somber, Renaissance-esque portraiture style, or vibrant and painterly Fauvist pastels with the bravado of Spanish royalty posing for Velázquez. “The dilemma for me has always been how to fit all that moves and drives me into a single painting,” says Cross.

Cross’ choice to use both sides of the canvas goes beyond economy of materials or a need to experiment. In fostering dialogues between subjects, influences, and even the artist’s own past and present, Cross allows for a “recycling aesthetic” to occur. Each double-sided painting acts as a time capsule. Several years, even a decade can stand between the moments when each side of the canvas was painted. While Cross’ subjects are suspended in time, the “intuitive pairings” he concocts reveal an artist’s thoughts and instincts in continual motion. “You can never escape your own hand.”
