Jackie Saccoccio's One To One features a single, massive abstract painting occupying an entire wall of Eleven Rivington. The lush, fifteen-feet-wide piece is an eye-full, offering different images and details from various vantage points. Amongst the swirls and swathes of deep colors and under some murky splotches, the canvas seems to depict flickering lights in a nighttime cityscape or images of flora. Translucent, milky smears wash out and obscure some areas and in another spot the canvas seems to be dissolving before your eyes.
The New York and Connecticut-based Saccoccio also applied a transparent film onto the gallery's glass facade which transforms her painting when viewed from outside. When standing inside the gallery, between the painting and the windows, you become immersed in the work in "a mercurial third layer of the painting environment" (from the press release). With One To One, Saccoccio has created an innovative, rich, and enveloping work. Learn more at elevenrivington.com and see the artist's website at Jackiesaccoccio.com. Through July 9th.
