Susan Eley Fine Art is proud to exhibit recent paintings by Andrew Hildenbrand and Carlos Puyol. Making his debut at SEFA, Hildenbrand’s textural abstractions hum with life alongside Puyol’s energetic and fluid canvases.

About

Polyrhythm refers to the simultaneous combination of contrasting rhythms in music. Prominent in Jazz, this term can also be applied to the disparate cadence of these two artists’ works. Puyol’s compositions undulate between soft washes, harsh staccato lines and fast sweeping brushstrokes. Hildenbrand’s impasto constructions play with light and color creating an illusion of movement as if subtly vibrating with energy. Both artists consider their practice adjacent to Jazz and its rhythm and improvisational nature. Puyol listens to Jazz as he paints and allows the music to influence the rhythm he composes within each painting. Hildenbrand references the music style when discussing his process of acting and reacting, each brushstroke, color choice and form influencing the next, in much the same way Jazz musicians plays off of each other.
