last chance: through February 5th 2012
Eleven Rivington is pleased to present the second solo exhibition of Hilary Berseth, on view from December 10, 2011 - February 5, 2012. The exhibition will feature Berseth's graphite drawings. Working with the most elemental of artist's tools and techniques - pencil and paper - Berseth's drawings balance imagery and illusion with the viewer's optical perception. Six intimately scaled works on paper superimpose two drawings over one another, fusing the images together through shading, combining them into a hypothetical space. The artist's studio appears in several drawings as a framing image; another features a scan of the artist’s retina. Using a similar strategy, Berseth combines simple paper constructions with careful shading to create volumetric trompe l’oeil objects — Archimedean spirals, a fractaline segment of a dogwood branch. These objects, like the drawings, hover between the concrete and the ethereal.
