Andrew Sutherland And Carrie Marill
October 9 - November 6, 2004
For our first show of the fall season, sixspace is pleased to present
a two-person exhibition featuring sculptural works and paintings
by Andrew Sutherland and Carrie Marill. Through different methods,
both artists re-examine the mediums used in creating art whether
it’s by Sutherland’s usage of unconventional materials
such as vinyl and cardboard or by Marill’s exploration of
an old medium (painting) in a new context.
 Brooklyn-based
artist Andrew Sutherland will be showing his material-based work
of corrugated vinyl paintings, carved wood-grain cardboard, and
poured vinyl sculptures. Diversely influenced, his work explores
what happens when sketch book drawings, everyday imagery and personal
iconography's collide with an inventive use of such materials as;
wood, paint, polyurethane, video, and corrugated cardboard. Born
in 1978, Sutherland attended Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO where
received a BA in Multi Media Art. After graduating in 2000 he moved
to New York. Sutherland’s first solo show Formation
took place at the Reed Space in NYC in 2003. He has also participated
in several group shows, including; TMWRK (2003) at the Nike Gallery
NYC, and Foaming at the Mouth (2003), a group show put
on by “Animal NY” magazine. His work has been featured
in "Nylon", Lodown", "XLR8R magazine",
and "I NY" by 4am press.
 Making
her Los Angeles debut, Carrie Marill presents a new series of acrylic-on-canvas
paintings featuring elements of design, such as furniture and interiors,
and modulations. Providing a subtle contrast to Sutherland’s
strong/bold pieces, Marill’s delicately painted works represent
artificial objects. Through her painting Marill explores how or
even if two-dimensional painting can stimulate an affected emotional
response. Because most objects today can be simulated, she questions
if the artificial becomes more of the “natural” and
the painting itself is more “unnatural.” Carrie Marill
received her BA is 2002 at the San Francisco State University and
earlier this year she earned her MFA at Cornell University. Solo
exhibitions of her delicate acrylic on canvas paintings have been
held at the Tjaden Gallery at Cornell University, Flux Gallery and
the Artery in San Francisco, while group exhibitions have been at
Viridean Artists @ Chelsea and Max Gallery, San Francisco. Marill
has recently relocated from New York to Arizona.
