Opening: February 25, 2010 6:00 PM
Battat Contemporary is pleased to present Aquacades, a series of paintings by John Ancheta. This latest series, all produced in 2009, embodies a clear shift and maturity in Ancheta’s emerging practice. Almost monolithic in nature, the paintings solidly reverberate the humid depths of water-laden landscapes while simultaneously capturing their disintegration. Particles break away from the mass, hazily drifting apart in a pixilated staccato of movement. Tonal variety is practically abolished and contrasts are heightened or diffused as images are bleached-out or darkened. The surface becomes a map of positive and negative spaces, but it is unclear which is which. Like infrared photography, satellite imagery or deep-sea video, Aquacades seem to explore a murky hidden world that we are not usually privileged enough to see.
