The elevating and ageless execution of refined perspective painting
"Built up and built out and consistently reconfigured in sometimes nearly imperceptibly different iterations, Tim Kent’s home studio is a now completely shifting, now gently morphing composition of spatiality in flux, a locus of nudging and restructuring of layouts and lighting that not only reflects the variant needs of a deeply skilled painter and draughtsman working at times with live models and at times from architectural renderings, but that is also reflected in many of the works themselves. In a number of paintings and drawings, for example, one sees great vaulted ceilings soaring above grandiose interiors inhabited by various fineries of color and décor, yet still visible at times is the compositional logic beneath it all, the traces of planning and retractable traces replanned, the spatial plotting of objects and the rushing in, or trickling through, or pouring on of light. These works are about air, in some sense, and how objects bear weight; they are about light flitting through rooms and making things dance, at times, while other times planting them firm. Figures do occasionally play cameos in these works, but they remain extras in indifferent focus. In these grand spaces, vacuity reigns over realms of marble-clad echoes"

Upcoming Shows:
COPIA CARTACEA
Presented by Centotto and Studio 10
Curated by Paul D'Agostino
An unofficial and rather unforeseen exhibit called Copia Cartacea, the Italian expression for 'hard copy' or 'paper copy,' existed for approximately 36 latter-estival hours at Centotto. Since it hardly had time to breathe, and since so few viewers had a chance to glimpse it, it will be both resuscitated and expanded as a somewhat more official exhibit pro tempore at Studio 10, a new Bushwick art space directed by Lawrence Greenberg.
A show related to hard copies and paper copies and transposable prepositions, Copia Cartacea consists of works on -- or around or about, or beyond or without -- paper by:

Centotto::galleria [simposio] Salotto
Nautical Notes: Mari, Navi e Naufragi
An interstizio exhibit
An ode to seafaring and seafarers and the seascapes through which they journey, Nautical Notes: Mari, Navi e Naufragi (Seas, Ships and Shipwrecks) is chartered to course the now treacherous, now pacific, now whimsical waters of variably maritime imagery.
Shores and wharves and waters in mist.
Masts and oars and the majesty of ships.
And just enough jettisoned
flotsam and jetsam
to leave most of our boats afloat.
May Poseidon smile approvingly upon our chores and forms.
May Centotto weather solely the eye of the storm.
Featuring works by Harry Gold, Adam Thompson, Josh Willis, Alice Lynn McMichael, Tim Kent, Zane Wilson, Rebecca Litt, Joel Dugan, Chris Wyrick, Rachel Day, Warren Holt and Paul Bergeron.
Opening reception: Friday, 30 September 2011, 7-10pm
Afterparty to be held, and quite fittingly, at The Narrows, 1037 Flushing Avenue.
