Waste Management + Men, Women and Children Jeff McMillan, Aurora, 2009 Oil on found painting
Lincart is very pleased to present two solo shows: "Waste Management": New wood sculptures by Richard Haden (Miami, Florida) "Men, Women and Children": New paintings by Jeff McMillian (London, UK) Richard Haden was born in Kentucky and honed his carving skills early on working as an apprentice for well-known sculptors. He moved to the West coast and continued to develop what is now an incredible mastery over his medium of choice, wood. Haden's sculptural tromp l'oeil works astound and amaze the viewer as they re-create scavenged objects, such as cardboard boxes, fire extinguishers and plastic jugs, with an uncanny precision which belie the raw material from which they are carved. Haden has had solo shows both in the U.S. and in Europe and now lives and works in Miami, Florida. Jeff McMillan was born and studied in the United States but has lived in the UK for the past ten years. McMillan creates startlingly fresh new paintings by marrying found forms and images such as second hand paintings and card board boxes with rich physical paint. For this exhibition, McMillan has taken found portrait paintings and literally turned them on their side and partially submerged them in layers of thick, solid colored paint. The resulting works are elevated beyond their traditional beginnings and become transported into strangely beautiful territory. McMillan’s works are exhibited in both the US and Europe.
