Free Range, 2014; oil on canvas; 60 x 40 in.
In his fourth exhibition at Gregory Lind Gallery, Jake Longstreth continues his exploration of rural and exurban scenes. Nature—viewed through the lens of memory—is at the center of the artist’s eerily vacant landscapes. Denuded of extraneous details, the paintings evoke memories of things seen, felt, or perhaps merely driven past. The works also signal a return to oil painting and are grounded in a palpable tension between highly mediated imagery and viscerally felt experience, while examining history, memory and subjectivity, and personal and collective spatial phenomena.
