Quint Contemporary Art is pleased to exhibit new works by artist Johannes Girardoni. This will be the first solo exhibition for the New York based artist at Quint Contemporary Art. The exhibition opens on October 23rd and will run through November 14th, 2009. There will be a public reception on Friday, October 23rd from 6 to 8PM.

Johannes Girardoni is an Austrian-born, American-based sculptor and installation artist. Girardoni’s works are reductive investigations at the intersection of sculpture and painting, through which he explores the continuously shifting relationship between reality and image. His material vocabulary – found wood, plywood, wax, pigment, light, enamel and plexiglass – and its physical constellation, become both the carrier of an explicitly painterly event, while also being the foundation of an immaterial phenomenon. His orchestration of material and light, presence and absence, things found and things formed, all resist clear fixation, thereby maintaining and creating works with their own non-derivable reality.

Quint Contemporary Art is pleased to exhibit works by artist Jan van Munster. The exhibition opens on April 3rd, 2009 with a public reception from 6-8 PM and continues through May 16th, 2009.

Dutch based sculptor, Jan van Munster, graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts, Rotterdam and pursued his MFA at the Institute of Applied Arts, Amsterdam. His work has been included in the collections of some of the most prominent museums throughout Europe including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, and the Museum of Modern Art in Antwerp. Jan van Munster has been exhibiting with Quint Contemporary Art for over two decades. In the early 1990’s, he was invited to take part in Quint Krichman Projects, a residency art program in San Diego. In 2003, van Munster received the Wilhelmina-ring, which is the Dutch oeuvre prize for sculpture, a prestigious award that celebrates his extensive career in the arts. An artist who has worked with a range of materials, Jan van Munster is incessantly enthralled by energy.
