Permanents Transients air-conditioned COUNTRY CLUB | CINCINNATI Matthew Brannon's work recalls the iconography of printed advertisement from the mid-20th century and carries an ongoing interest in the intersection of image and text. Brannon utilizes printmaking techniques such as screen-printing and letterpress to create unique works. Similarly, Katarina Burin combines screen-printing with painting and drawing techniques, in this case, to re-contextualize images from matchbook covers focusing on an international selection of Modernist structures and designs. Promotional gifts from hotels and restaurants re-presented as a visual essay on leisure, commerce, advertising and painting. Charley Harper (1922-2007) was a prolific designer, artist and illustrator based in Cincinnati, Ohio. His work on the Ford Times travel magazine in the 1950s brought his particular sensibility to a wide-ranging audience in America. Harper's Modernist approach to wildlife and travel imagery has proven to be tremendously influential to subsequent generations of artists and designers. For this exhibition, Burin and Brannon's work will be exhibited alongside rarely-seen preliminary drawings for some of Harper's most famous screenprints. Matthew Brannon has had solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria; Friedrich Petzel Gallery, NY; David Kordansky Gallery, LA.
