LGTripp Gallery is pleased to announce two solo exhibitions of new works by Paul Fabozzi and Seonglan Kim Boyce. The artists share an underlying partiality for geometry, which results in each computing a unique approach to their distinct visual equations. This is the third solo exhibition for Fabozzi and the second solo for Boyce in Philadelphia, presented by gallery director Luella Tripp.

PAUL FABOZZI’S art was inspired by collecting data on his walks through New York City. Counting steps, measuring distance, often using a pedometer and a camera, the artist documented his walks. This became the material, the data that would inform his paintings and drawings. Lines and sets of shapes were the language the artist employed to capture his experience. In this new series, Spectral Variants, Fabozzi transitions from a calculative process to re-experiencing the process by reconfiguring and recalculating the information. The artist states, “I feel that this process is bringing me both closer to and farther away from the original walk—farther from the objective qualities of the walk perhaps, but closer to the energy of that experience”.

SEONGLAN KIM BOYCE’S retrospective in 2007 presented work spanning twenty years. Nature, its physical wonders and beauty, rhythm, power and spirit is her inspiration. Her paintings are visual expressions of the silent harmony and balance of life. The artist employs geometric elements to best express this uniformity. Obsessive attention is given to color, length and thickness of lines and spatial relationships are brought to the surface to minimize depth. Seonglan’s recent work is intuitive and without specific reference. She states, “In my painted space I’m interested in even surface, balance, immediacy, distinct colors, open space and a silent motion is at play.”
