Tinney Contemporary presents Hidden Light

Tinney Contemporary is pleased to present Hidden Light – a solo exhibition of new works by Australian born New York-based artist, Jaq Belcher. A follow up to Belcher's 2011 solo exhibition with Tinney Contemporary, Hidden Light features works that are founded in a contemplative process of reduction and repetition. Each unique work begins with an unblemished sheet of white paper, a pencil, and countless x-acto blades. Belcher then proceeds to rupture the surface of the paper slicing thousands of "seeds," a pointed oval shape based on the intersection of two spheres, commonly known as a vesica piscis.  The cuts are often in the tens of thousands and counted prior to the forms being raised. The play of light and shadow create geometric and dynamic compositions in a singular medium, the paper itself.
