Clint Imboden and Emilio Lobato
January 9 - January 29, 2016
Andrea Schwartz Gallery is pleased to announce a two person exhibition featuring recent work by Clint Imboden and Emilio Lobato.
“I start with artifacts of daily living, things that most people discard or overlook. I use them for their connotative, associative, or narrative possibilities.”
—Clint Imboden
Clint Imboden is intuitively drawn to old materials as they foster purposeful imperfections in his artworks; an attribute that is connected to the previous life of the object. With battered globes and dilapidated tools, the artist creates tactile assemblage sculptures. Imboden’s varied selection of materials is meant to challenge his audience, provoking them to explore the intent of his chosen mixed media.
“I am interested in examining ideas centered on our preoccupation of measuring and quantifying, and our habit of assigning personal value and self worth to these external conditions.”
—Emilio Lobato
Emilio Lobato creates assemblage wall works utilizing wooden electricians rulers, antique book covers, and pages. In doing so, Lobato is making a commentary about the futility of accumulating and assessing our material gains and associating them as a means to measure our own personal self worth. He is moved by the treasure that we frequently take for granted.
(More of his works may be found on his portfolio page.)
