"The Doubloon: Xylor Jane"

FOUR
Dublin, , IE Ireland

Four is pleased to present The Doubloon, a solo show by American artist Xylor Jane. Jane plans to secret herself in the gallery for 5 days to make something site-specific. "That's how I like to work," she says. "With the architecture of the space I work in, making my math coexist with the math that's already there." Each work begins with a set of arbitrary rules, often involving a Fibonacci sequence, that determine how the grid will transform the wall into a hypnotic optical experience, that simultaneously expands and shrinks, whereby the image radiates outward from the center, Jane uncovers the unpredictable pattern produced by an apparently logical sequence making use of the constraints imposed by measurement.

Xylor Jane lives and works in both San Francisco and Brooklyn, New York. She received a BFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute. She has had several solo exhibitions in the Bay Area at galleries including Jack Hanley Gallery, The LAB, Gallery 16 and The Luggage Store and solo shows in New York at Canada Gallery and Rare Gallery. Jane's work has also been included in group shows at Ricco/Maresca Gallery in New York and Gallery Joe in Philadelphia. She is represented by Jack Hanley Gallery, San Francisco.

Forthcoming exhibition: Borderline, 15 December – 30 January 2006.
