Bryce WolkowitzBryce Wolkowitz Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of New York born multidisciplinary artist Gordon Harrison Hull. The exhibition will feature large works on paper with mixed mediums of acrylic, watercolor, ink, pencil, pen, and collage. The composition is born from a multitude of whimsical elements – evoking colorful emotional landscapes; multi-cultural channel surfing; and soft, faded pieces of dream. Based on a concept he calls ‘lo-fi magic,’ Gordon’s work explores instances of dada-ism, the supernatural, poetry, mark-making, primitivism, dance, abstract expressionism, travel, symbolism, laughter and almost most importantly – acts of spontaneity and chance. Gordon Harrison Hull was born on September 5, 1977- the result of a pregnancy brought about by a fertility dress made for his mother by an Ashanti witch doctor in Kumasi, Ghana. He was raised on his family's apple orchard in Warwick, NY and subsequently moved to New York to study shamanism, art and creative theory at the Gallatin school at NYU. The unusual circumstance surrounding his birth, childhood and course of study was the foreshadowing of his works to come in the way that he injects originality, energy and soul into all his projects. He was a founder and creative director of the multi-disciplinary Parisian creative group/fashion brand Surface to Air from its inception in 2000 until 2011. He currently lives in Brooklyn with his wife Gillian Schwartz and their son, Guy.
