His multifaceted use of materials and colours range from mutated geometric and geologic forms to unlikely pairings of objects in the act of collision. On the surface, the sculptures may appear idiosyncratic and absurd but each is a carefully considered and constructed elemental unit. Despite their apparent otherworldliness, they remain largely human in scale and share an innate, if abstracted relationship to the body. At their core, this ongoing series of sculptural works demonstrates the artist’s commitment to the hands-on transformation of materials from one state to another</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">Derrick Piens is represented by General Hardware Contemporary, Toronto. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; "><a href="http://www.derrickpiens.com">www.derrickpiens.com</a></span></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"></font></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; "><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">Artist Talk: w/ Jaime Angelopolous, Wedn</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">esday, September 25 at 11:00 am in ECH 1219</span><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><strong>Gallery Two</strong></span><br><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">Nicole Collins</span></strong></span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; "><strong>HEAVY: Black Paintings</strong><br><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">Nicole Collins’ practice focuses on the effects of time, accumulation, heat and gravity on visceral materials, primarily through painting. She exploits the dynamic metaphorical possibilities of paint to communicate the fragility and resilience of life on a physical, intellectual and spiritual level. <i>HEAVY: Black Paintings</i> gathers together five large thematically-linked monochromatic paintings for the first time. Made using wax and pigment, these materially dense paintings have been constructed through the act of carving, scraping, peeling, melting and reconstructing the wax, often over layers of jute. They are a manifestation of the artist’s almost devotional process of accumulation and excavation over time. The end results are equally imposing, contemplative and mournful. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">Nicole Collins is represented by General Hardware Contemporary, Toronto.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; "><a href="http://www.nicolecollins.com">www.nicolecollins.com</a></span></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">Artist Talk: Wednesday, October 16 at 11:00 am in ECH 1219</span></div><div><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Please join us for both of these visually and materially thought-provoking exhibitions.</font><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">Admit Everyone.
