Joe Rudko: Portrait Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Online Only at Winston W\u00e4chter Fine Art<\/a> in Seattle, Washington, USA
23 September-4 November 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Portrait Mode” is a selection of work from the past five years from Seattle-based artist Joe Rudko. Utilizing a range of found photographs, Rudko meticulously categorizes imagery into deconstructions of the portrait\u2014both as a genre and a recognizable icon. The greyscale, gridded compositions of Portrait Quilt<\/em>, Chair<\/em>, and Verso<\/em> (the latter of which incorporates patchy impressions from the back of photographs) tamper with portraiture as a concrete representation of form. Discernible snippets of faces, chairs, and silhouettes blur into an overarching fabric suggesting multiplicity, or a careful, exacting version of reality mimicking our own curated online selves. Quieter, fractal-like “Inlaid” artworks utilize single images inlaid into unfixed photo paper, thoughtfully splintering a single figure into isolated, geometric components. Rudko\u2019s collages rely on precise calculation rendered into expressive, unexpected combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
