Paintings by Dede Falcone

Steven Gilbert Gallery

July 11- August 3 2019 -

 

The work of Dede Falcone depicts the engagement and intimacy between placement, displacement, connection, and fragmentation of human connectedness to the natural environment and in respect to relationships, interactions, conventions and constructions therein. 

 

AND SO IT IS offers figurations of living “in between”. The show dives deeply into the fluctuating states of having and being. These abstractions are vivid, atmospheric outpourings which gives viewers perspective of internal investigations, and dichotomies of self: the tangible and intangible -in equal parts- as documentation and code encryption to an unregulated internal monologue.

Katlyn Hubner Intimacy Issues

December is the month of transitions and I can't necessarily say the “royal we”, however I think understanding intimacy no matter where you are culturally reigning from its something that can be learned hard or delicately. If you have made it this far to read the statement you entered through the void. The installation to walk through made at the beginning of the gallery before the two dimensional work. Whether you came alone, with another, or a group you had to enter by yourself through the vestibule to enter the main space.

For all the pieces of art in this space I asked all the models I had the opportunity to work with on this project how they felt about either losing someone in their life, or having a failure to communicate with others still currently in their fleshy vessels. Language and timing have a huge amount of play at stake here. There is sometimes a yearning no matter how you try to express your feelings spiritually or in the twenty different ways to express your point of view from someone across the table hoping they can listen. To be heard, is intimate.
