Matt Tarini
In Transit
November 4 - 28, 2009
In Transit depicts the technological seclusion of the modern urban person and her/his lack of connection to nature. Being underground surrounded by sterile white tiles, strangers, and artificial light on the subway can be an alienating experience. Tarini records on canvas, the cold way the light from the subway reflects off the walls and floor, the isolation of a woman silhouetted against a wall of white tiles, and the way two people can share such a close space without ever acknowledging one another. This body of work portrays what is often a lonely experience in our contemporary urban environment when we are cut off from each other and the natural world.
