YOU HAVE FOUND A WAY TO BE HERE
Jeffrey Scott Mathews
The Kent Place Gallery
Tuesday, February 14 – Friday, March 9, 2012.  Reception 6-8 pm on Friday, March 9.

The surfaces Jeffrey Mathews works are incredibly palpable. They create a site where the artist compresses information, sensation and energy into a concentrated and refined form. In this mixture we see the artist’s actions and the workings of matter joined in an unusual way. An enormous amount of processing and discrete conjuring results in works both rugged and delicate. A kind of lucid, canny, post-post-modern version of the alchemist’s “philosopher’s stone” seems on the verge of forming before our eyes. These works are strange, but entirely convincing.
