Painting as Paradox: In the Studio with Matt Klos

Borders: Lillian Bayley Hoover at Loyola University Julio Gallery

February 21 – March 30, 2014
curated by Kay Hwang

An excerpt from Ian MacLean Davis’ recent review of Hoover at Goya Contemporary for Bmoreart:

Hoover’s paintings have existed in relation to each other in a way that evokes cinematic montage, using quick cuts of disconnected images, allowing the viewer to draw connections and fill in the gaps. This is a non-linear, editing-based and psychological way of telling a story. The relationship of painting to photography and film is complex, and yet unavoidably defines contemporary representational painting. How we read images, and how “painterly” a work is rendered; these are both terribly affected by an opposition of painting to the capture of image, digital or analog. Hoover is a painter and colorist of great skill and sensitivity, and here, as previously, she defines her compositions through photography. Beyond that, her paintings can be considered as images in sequence, telling a cumulative story through a series of juxtapositions related in theme.
