Jackie Saccoccio: The Gravity of Space
Upper Gallery
December 1, 2021 - January 16, 2022
"I begin the paintings on unstretched canvas by pouring loose paint and manipulating the canvas and gravity to create webs of space, dripping and scraping one painting over another."
Jackie Saccoccio
"Saccoccio’s recent paintings look as if they were blasted onto the canvas. Created with layers of oil and glittery mica, and marked with scrapes and networks of drips, the works mimic portraiture."
Martha Schwendener for the New York Times
"All these layers add a dimension of distance, although not in a pictorial perspectival sense. It reflects time through a conversation between the layers that includes atomized color, painted and drawn, dripped, perspectival views of pixelation and printmaking."
