Quint Contemporary Art is pleased to announce a group exhibition of collage, conceptual work, drawings, photographs, sculpture, and paintings by artists Mike Calway-Fagen, Joseph Huppert, Francesco Longenecker, Lee Materazzi, Timothy Neill, and Ali Silverstein. This is the first exhibition at QCA for all the artists except Lee Materazzi, who was part of a two-person exhibition in 2009. The exhibition, FRESH BRED, will open with a public reception on Saturday, June 2 from 6 to 8 PM.

FRESH BRED is a look at a new generation of artists whose work is referencing art history while also looking forward to the future. The work stems from Conceptual Art, Light and Space, Abstract Expressionism and Performance Art in variety of media that offer fresh takes on old styles and modes of working. The artists represent a cross-section from San Diego, as well as national artists.

Quint Contemporary Art (QCA) is very pleased to announce a solo exhibition of paintings and sculpture by Jean Lowe. This is the seventh solo exhibition for Lowe at QCA. The exhibition will open with a public reception on Saturday, April 21st from 6 to 8 PM.

Lowe’s exhibition is a mix of retail therapy and fairytale visions combined to create abrupt and fascinating interiors in her newest paintings and sculptures. Painted putti and gaudy Baroque interiors house a foreground of consumer products like those found at 99 cent stores, Walmart, Big Lots, thrift stores and flea markets. A trip Lowe took to Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia informed the Baroque and Rococo interiors used in the paintings.

These whimsical interiors are painted with a loose brushstroke that is typical of Lowe’s painterly hand. The images are detailed but a close look reveal’s a blurred focus, their components melded seemingly together in a witty commentary on commercialism and extravagance. In a recent article for San Diego Home/Garden, Lowe said, “Being too obvious about my position can just be a turn-off, but humor and approaching things obliquely I think opens an avenue for conversation.”

“It is the opacity of our language and the way in which it predetermines our sight that intrigues me.” – Mel Bochner
