Ripley's artistic approach embodies the essence of the American Abstract Expressionist movement, particularly in its rejection of figurative representation and emphasis on spontaneity and gesture. Like his predecessors such as Jackson Pollock and Wassily Kandinsky, Ripley's process is deeply intertwined with music, allowing rhythmic brushstrokes to translate into bursts of color that dance across the canvas. The use of black gesso as a base provides a stark contrast against which Ripley's vibrant colors can truly pop. The visible splatters and drips serve as tangible reminders of the artist's physical engagement with the canvas, capturing the energy and dynamism of the creative act itself. Ripley's paintings are not mere visual compositions; they are multisensory experiences that evoke emotions and sensations akin to poetry. His work transcends strict interpretation, inviting viewers to engage with the paintings on a personal level and to find their own meaning within the layers of color and texture. Through a process of wiping out and repainting, Ripley achieves a sense of depth and movement within his compositions, creating an ever-evolving visual narrative that invites exploration. Each layer of paint contributes to the overall richness of the work, resulting in paintings that are timeless, poetic, and full of life.

This new series of colorful abstract paintings continues the artist’s exploration of memory - delving into those aspects of life that can be controlled and those that cannot. “I often perceive my painting practice as a series of letters, or messages to my inner self or the past, and that my paintings are a letter to myself, a record of a moment in life, merging a lived experience I’ve had with the present moment”, DeJesus says. In these fluidly inventive paintings, DeJesus employs additive and subtractive gestures to elicit complex, visual tensions. Fragmented compositions mirror the complexities of memory and the elusive nature of self-understanding, as the artist seeks to unravel the interconnectedness of memories and the disjointed nature of personal narratives. Using layers and washes, removing material or occasionally cutting up paintings, DeJesus often merges old and new paintings to tell a new story and explore how memories connect. Utilizing a process that embraces both the intentional and the accidental, the paintings evidence an ongoing conversation between artist, material and image. The spontaneity of colorful washes stand in contrast to the intentionality of overlaid marks and added materials. Fields of color are manipulated to move, but complete control is not always an option, nor the point. Discussing her palette, DeJesus says, “I gravitate to using bright colors - pastel or even neon hues. These colors have an intensity that chimes with my inner world. I use them in a chaotic, often optically dissonant way, or in a way that I wouldn’t always expect. For me, it is not about the beauty of the colors, or their attention getting qualities, but their fantastical intensity. I feel in tune with their dreamlike qualities and the memory experiences they inspire. These childlike hues reflect the nostalgic essence of childhood experiences, serving as a reminder that the child within us never truly disappears.” Explaining further, the artist states; “While my work is purely abstract, and non-representational, gestures often suggest forms that repeat and I’ll begin to categorize them. Portal motifs have emerged in my work over the years and in this body of work, I have come to see them as mirrors and caves. A mirror symbolizes a surface of reflection and containment, while a cave is a geographical formation you can physically enter. Both represent portals of transformation, femininity, and spiritual transcendence and for me become gateways to inner exploration.” Letter to a Memory suggests a personal and intimate journey through memories, reflecting on experiences and emotions in an exploration of self and DeJesus’ relationship to the past.

Von Lintel Gallery is excited to announce our inaugural solo exhibition ‘An Open Window’ with Donna Moylan. Step into a world where art transcends conventional norms and embraces the enigmatic. Moylan's approach challenges traditional perceptions, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a realm where the everyday and the mysterious intertwine. Each of Moylan's paintings in this exhibition features a window, symbolizing an invitation to open the discourse, expand the mind, and embrace new possibilities. Moylan's distinctive style weaves intricate layers of symbolism and surrealism, prompting viewers to unravel the mysteries hidden within her canvases. As you engage with her art, be prepared to embark on a journey of discovery. ‘For Donna Moylan, the wild is the norm. Moylan’s paintings point to a surrealist revival in recent art though she claims a long history in this genre.’ written by Lenore Malen for TheBrooklyn Rail Donna Moylan is a New York based artist who has consistently exhibited worldwide since 1985. Her work is included in permanent collections such as The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, The Cleveland Center for the Arts and the New York Library Public Collection to name a few.
