Houldsworth is pleased to exhibit new work by the Dutch painter, G-Brecht. In his disquieting landscapes, technical innovations interact uneasily with nature: a single monitor glows underneath heavy sylvan foliage, neon strip lights are suspended from a canopy of tall trees, and a plane flies through a swampy mangrove. Fictitious and unsettling, uninhabitable and agriculturally unfeasible, these landscapes, or Zones as coined by the artist, feel like a controlled experiment set up within the closed confines of a science laboratory. But just as formulas, medicines and new technologies are discovered in a lab, so too are there solutions to the riddles depicted within these images. Wanting to divert the viewer from any readings that are too obvious or literal, G-Brecht provides only the sparsest of clues to events occurring within the painting. G-Brecht¹s Zones are suggestive, hypothetical and theatrical, staged from the perspective of a window, or more aptly a television set, so that the viewer is compelled to look and interpret the scene and effectively complete the image.
