d berman gallery is pleased to present “Below the Surface: A Different Order” with new work by Jeffrey Dell and Marjorie Moore.
Jeffrey Dell's small, vivid explorations in the silkscreening process reveal their layered history through pinpricks and thick furrows of ink. In the realm of printmaking, it is conventionally blasphemous to crease or otherwise manipulate the paper itself, but in these works, Mr. Dell does just that in order to emphasize and expose the slow, beautiful genesis of each work. The resulting creations are not pictorial compositions on a pristine page, but rather landscapes of pigment. Mr. Dell is an associate professor of art and design at Texas State University.
Marjorie Moore’s paintings and drawings will be displayed within an installation of her collections of quasi-scientific objects, toys, and other curiosities. She says, “I expand the accepted realm of taxonomies to include the scientific, the plaything, the detritus of decay, and the strange.” The installation will be essentially one part wonder cabinet, one part nature museum, one part science classroom, and one part art gallery. Ms. Moore teaches at the Art School of the Austin Museum of Art.

Please join us for a gallery talk on Saturday, July 15, at 1 pm with James Housefield, adjunct curator for the Austin Museum of Art and Associate Professor of the History of Art, Texas State University - San Marcos, and Mark Blizard, Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
