Refaced Defaced

A Collaboration with Mericle, Worthy and TOVEN

Opening May 22nd 8pm

Gallery 788

3602 Hickory St.

Baltimore, MD 21211

There is a very specific, interesting, and of import product that results from the procedure of street artists "defacing" surfaces in public spaces, along with others who and then reface those spaces, only to then have them defaced over again. Refacing again occurs, and a cycle of changing façades (or faces) results, giving the spaces graphic symbol and depth (both physical and implied).

Countless walls, alleys, and buildings throughout the world are testaments to these cycles. On them, textures are created through a give and take between two opposing process'. Addition and removal.

Painting and buffing. Pasting and vehement downwardly. The cycle is continuous, and the reason why then much street fine art is ofttimes temporary.

Street artists TOVEN and Worthy, along with sculptor/painter Paul Mericle, have teamed upwards to explore this theme. Collaborating to create large and minor scale pieces, they explore the various ways in which "faces" tin be created through defacing, refacing, building, removing, calculation and subtracting from surfaces.

TOVEN is known for his surreal wheatpastes that feature heads of animals, objects, and humans juxtaposed on recognizable bodies. Worthy creates elaborate linocuts of insects, prints them, then dissects and rearranges the pieces, stretching out the images, and giving the feeling of the image moving within infinite. Mericle'south work features materials that are broken down, and rearranged to create relief sculptures that are then painted to play with the viewer'due south concept of space within the piece of work. Combined these iii unique, all the same like, styles accept led to interesting works that question the notions of defaced refaced surfaces.
