COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Loughney: Psychic Wilderness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Jane’s Room in New York, New York, USA
14 September-20 October 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paul Loughney writes about the work in “Psychic Wilderness”:<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My collages inhabit a space between abstraction and figuration, anthropology and storytelling, cultural and personal myths: where belief mingles with magical thinking. Utilizing landscape and portrait as a point of departure, I consider it a type of visual anchor allowing me to pursue themes pervasive throughout my images: psychological, psychedelic, erotic undertones; trafficking in esoteric and occult symbols; the illusion of impossible situations. Simultaneous narratives are a desired result. I approach collage from an intuitive process, attempting to create images like visual hallucinations, a kind of delirium, all the while pursuing that intimate space between viewer and image, and creating an experience that rewards slow looking. It is important that the viewer knows the work is by hand. Contemporary magazines are my source material and are considered “anthropological document” excavating necessary parts to breathe new life into such materials. I employ drawing, appropriation, and frottage which involves sanding–a gesture of revealing what\u2019s beneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
