Gallery artist Ryan Wallace opens a solo show, “Dragnalus,” at Cooper Cole Gallery on January 22nd. This marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in Canada.
Taking its title from the post-hardcore band Unwound’s ode to apathy, boredom and the repetition of daily existence, Wallace’s work-a-day approach mines beauty from his utilitarian materials and dogged spacial investigations. Wallace’s output is a cycle of continuously constructed, razed, rebuilt and re-flattened information. Like a field of fossils, the floor of the gallery is an optical vista of tiles that both support and trap the materials employed in his paintings and sculptures.
