WILL YACKULIC ‘AGGREGATE INTENSITY’ ON VIEW AT JEFF BAILEY GALLERY

avv/gs set 11/14 #719605

NEW YORK CITY — “Will Yackulic: Focused Aggregate Intensity,” and exhibition of drawings and paintings, is on view at Jeff Bailey Gallery through December 21.

Using a typewriter, gouache, watercolor and India ink, Yackulic builds systems of information accretion on display in the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York City. Punctuation marks and simple geometric forms are combined to create multifaceted patterns that vibrate with optical intensity.

Like snow on an old TV screen, the typewriter marks are a visual jumble, a chaos of uniformity. From red or black typewriter ribbons, thousands of marks create fields that radiate in concentric circles or undulate in waves.

In “Opulence & Intention,” a sphere hovers midair, casting a shadow, or reflection, against the typed ground. A wave ripples gently below. The scale is uncertain and the objects defy any spatial categorization. “Outpost I” is a circular painting on panel, 4 feet in diameter. Constructed of multicolored triangles, it is a much larger version of the spheres found in the drawings. It is structured and free floating, an engineered object that is simple, yet complex and mysterious.

Yackulic has had solo exhibitions at Gregory Lind Gallery and Adobe Backroom Gallery, San Francisco. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally.

The gallery is at 511 West 25th Street, Suite #207. For information, 212-989-0156 or www.baileygallery.com.
