Biddy
, "Between The Lines (Goad)", collage
on
board, 8" x 8",
2010
Daniel
Biddy
creates works of collage that incorporate a visual language
of
appropriated images as well as elements of oil painting. These mixed
media
“inscapes” are conceptual, often allegorical vignettes that
are
open-ended meditations upon and conversations with the world.
“
Out of
Context
” begins with an Opening Reception on Friday,
October
15 and runs through November 13.
Daniel Biddy,
"Mounting
(Stirred)
", collage on board, 8" x 8",
2010
While the larger works included
in
“Out of
Context”
place a new heavier significance on color field and
pattern,
Biddy
maintains his established process of amassing
and
re-contextualizing imagery mined from diverse sources in printed
and
online media. For several years,
Biddy
has worked in collage consisting predominantly of
collections
of paper cut-outs, with oil paint serving as the medium for color
field
elements in the larger works. For the new works, he has expanded his
store
of resources to incorporate a wider range of media, this expansion
is
driven by piece-specific needs generated during the developmental
stages
of a working style informed by a sort of "call and response"
process.
Newer elements include string, corrugated board and encaustic.
Daniel Biddy,
"Irrelevant Majesty (Sunny
Side)"
, collage on board, 8" x 8",
2010
Placing increased significance on the kinetic line, the works
in
“Out of Context” move into a
realm
that reveals a sense of activity and propulsion. By shifting from
the
state of static "being" to that of implied motion while not losing
the
central focus of re-contextualization of appropriated imagery this
new
work achieves a deeper visual maturity.

The
Smilebooth
is a modern update on a classic memory-maker: an exciting
addition
for any party that should be remembered. It offers studio lighting
that
will make anyone look fabulous. There are no limits to the amount of
times
you take the photo so you can out-do yourself everytime. The silly
and
spontaneous shots are the best part of the
Smilebooth
. Be warned...it might take over the event with outrageous
laughter
coming from the corner...but that¹s not a bad thing,
right?
