The Hole is proud to announce our 10th year at Art Brussels. Please visit us at Booth 5A-54 for an assortment of works including a special solo presentation by Jeremy Shockley. Shockley's practice focuses on the fruitful zone where "paintings as a window" and "painting as a cloth stretched over some wooden slats” collide. With a background in art conservation, it was his work restoring a Lucio Fontana painting that led him to incorporate the renowned Spatialist's slashed-canvas imagery into his own work as you see above. He achieves his signature trompe l'oeil technique first with bold exuberant strokes followed by eye-lash thin ones to simulate frayed threads along fake slits in the canvas. For Brussels he has created a suite of six paintings that nod towards great Belgian master Rene Magritte.
Jeremy Shockley (b.1982) considers painting a form of storytelling. Influenced by the literary techniques of magical realist writers, he renders the impossible and the surreal in a matter-of-fact way. Shockley was born in Travelers Rest, SC, a town pocketed in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, known as a haven for tired livestock drovers. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
