Here’s a great show to look to look forward to this Saturday: new at Fredric Snitzer Gallery is a solo exhibition by Miami-based artist Jacin Giordano. The show is titled “…Years Later” and is the artist’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery. Giordano’s vibrant, colorful (but often discordantly so) works arise from an unusually laborious and painstakingly tedious process by which the artist stacks layers upon layers of dried acrylic paint, or globs of dried paint drips, cuts them up, arranges, and glues them either on canvas or as sculpture.

With this process he often adds to the mix textiles, glitter, yarn and more paint, by which he engulfs the work, sometimes covering the canvas so that the acrylic is merely peeking through. The end result has Giordano creating paintings with tactile sculptural components and sculptures that veer into painterly realms. With this body of work especially, the nervousness of the process seems to shine through.

In previous works, Giordano has shifted from purely abstract work to the more figurative, sometimes even attempting to incorporate some form of narrative. With these paintings and sculptures the artist tends to keep things more abstract and instead explore the process, taking it to new and rewardingly exaggerated limits.
