Re-Make / Re-Model
Re-Make / Re-Model, a Catalog of Paintings by Matty Byloos
ABOUT THE BOOK
Between 2002 and 2005, I worked on a group of paintings that was called the Hancock Park Sister Series. Numbering not more than a dozen paintings, the work was exhibited in two separate solo shows at SolwayJones Gallery in Los Angeles. The first exhibition was titled Hancock Park Sister Series, with the first 5 to 6 paintings being shown at the gallery in June of 2003.
Later, in 2005, a second group of work was exhibited in the exhibition titled Re-Make / Re-Model, from which the catalog derives its name.
The work began with a series of photographs, all shot around the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Most of the images feature a single saucer Magnolia in bloom, with architecture or urban infrastructure intruding in parts of the background. Later works also stem from photographs shot in Koln, Germany, during a fine arts residency in the summer of 2004.
The catalog features two essays, one by the writer and critic Chris Kraus, and one written by the critic Christina Valentine.
