Both artists have previously collaborated on exhibitions, and for the book, Good Times, Bad Trips published by Gallery 16 Editions in 2007. They are represented by 2nd floor projects and Mulherin + Pollard.
In their exhibition Sin Titulo, artists Scott Hewicker and Clifford Hengst explore the nether worlds between sublime mystery and lurid banality. In drawing, painting, videos and performance, both artists mine sparsely populated interiors and haunted objects that reflect on the anticipatory charge of discreet physical contact through experience, memory, and fantasy. Hengst’s watercolor and ink paintings on paper are based on dim light and shadows, and places people hide themselves both physically and emotionally. He investigates the darkness and mundane allure of anonymous settings and the strange and silent waiting game of boredom and promise. Hewicker’s acrylic on canvas paintings take on a wide breadth of subject and styles from muted objects and abstracted figurations, to blurry landscapes and soft focus interiors. His new paintings concentrate on the empty low-resolution environments of bedrooms, bathrooms and various other public and outdoor spaces emphasizing a compulsive ambiguity between public and private. Hengst and Hewicker collaborated on a performance during the opening.
