driving the dark dust filled backroads of the art world under moonless skies in cranky gas guzzling battered behemoths armed with weapons loaded with knowledge and talent Chris Ketchie and Daniel John Gadd decimate the timid and hesitant painters and sculptors of this generation.

refusing to recognize the artificial borders between sculpture and painting they slash and burn the tangled undergrowth of obfuscating dialectics and clear cut their paths forward .... their artwork is built, accreted, cut, hammered, nailed, not nicely painted. every meal is treated like their Last Supper, their artistic vehicles of choice have no brakes, too much horsepower and unlimited fuel.

firing cannon shots loaded with confidence across the passive bows of complacent artistic canons Daniel John Gadd invests his shattered reflections and dreams of our age with an assassin’s cold eyed clarity. broken mirrors, tortured wood and metal are elegantly inelegant vehicles he races towards the cliff.

Chris Ketchie’s multi-paneled, multilayered, multi -dimensional abstractions built from wooden panels would not survive in a studio of soft canvas. attacking his surfaces with testosterone enhanced ferocity, a meat eater’s ravenous execution of the meek upon the altar of his desire. these feasts leave no one hungry who sit at his fire.
