The Heart, the Mind, or Somewhere in Between: Chelsea Fine Arts Building <\/strong> Kevin OHanlon<\/strong> Eric Sutphin<\/strong> (MFA, The School of Visual Arts) Rogue Space | Chelsea<\/a>\u00a0– Gallery and exhibition venue If affective states can be said to be the unifying conceptual principle in Aderhold\u2019s practice then the stain<\/em> is the formal element that sutures these seen<\/em> and felt<\/em> encounter. These stains, amorphous bodies, are often made with coffee, or heavily thinned paint. They might be controlled as in Don\u2019t Speak (2009)<\/em> in which a young woman\u2019s mouth is nearly obliterated by a thought bubble-shaped stain that swells out toward the painting\u2019s left edge. The psyche, the internal drama played out against diffuse rituals<\/em>, becomes manifest in Aderhold\u2019s work, it seems, not as a precondition but rather, as a series of connections and resonances that emerge out of their production.<\/p>\n Aderhold shows us that painting-one among many of such \u201cdiffuse rituals\u201d -is still a locale, a theatre, in which surprise, pain and delight can occur. In light of the critical rebuttals against some recent abstraction, Aderhold\u2019s work proves itself to be consistently rigorous and endlessly gratifying. Through his constant experimentation with new modes (tracery, frottage, collage and photography) each one of Aderhold\u2019s paintings holds within it a feeling of stumbling upon something-like a surprise, or a gift.<\/p><\/div>\n artcritical<\/a>\u00a0– the online magazine of art and ideas

<\/a>The title of the exhibition, \u201cNull Kommma Null,\u201d which translates as Zero Point Zero<\/em>. was taken from a small square painting of what appears to be\u00a0 a woman\u2019s face . There is no way of identifying precisely what the title refers to; a starting point, an ending or perhaps, a blank slate. But the eponymous painting does give us an idea of the resonances that Aderhold\u2019s work touches upon. Feelings. Or-what we might prefer to call affect. The marred and stained surface of the canvases presented in this exhibition set the stage for whatever imagery might occur within their boundaries or frames.<\/p>\n
