About the Item

The whimsical colorful abstractions of Chieko Murasugi are inspired by the artists love of candy. They wonderfully mix together aspects of geometric and organic abstraction, painting with hard edges and added ceramic objects. Artist Statement: In my paintings and mixed-media works I use the language of abstraction to challenge simplistic interpretations of identities and histories. I mine and synthesize diverse histories, materials, and artistic influences through my Japanese-Canadian-American lens to create works that defy, especially Orientalist, stereotypes and tropes. I am drawn to dualities and dichotomies: art and science, Asian and Western, geometric and organic, clarity and ambiguity, personal and collective, historic and contemporary. I strive to integrate these seemingly contradictory impulses to produce enigmatic works that speak to questions of identity, history, and epistemology. About the Artist: Chieko Murasugi was born in Tokyo, raised in Toronto, and based in San Francisco for 20 years before moving to North Carolina in 2012. She has degrees in Experimental Psychology (BA McGill, Ph.D. York U) and Studio Art (BFA York U, MFA UNC-Chapel Hill). She has exhibited her work in galleries and museums in San Francisco, New York, and in the American South where her paintings reside in the public collections of the City of Raleigh and Duke University. Recently, she was awarded a Hambidge Center Residency and an Artist Project Grant from the Orange County Arts Commission. She is a co-founder and co-curator of BASEMENT, a provisional, artist-run project space in Chapel Hill, NC. About the Artist: Chieko Murasugi (b. Tokyo), a North Carolina-based painter and mixed-media artist, has graduate degrees in Experimental Psychology (PhD, York University) and Studio Art (MFA, UNC-Chapel Hill). She employs the language of abstraction to create enigmatic and dynamic collage-paintings that examine the contributions of perception, memory, and history on personal and collective narratives. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States including the Weatherspoon Art Museum at UNC-Greensboro, the Mint Museum in Charlotte, the Wiregrass Museum in Alabama, and at the Ackland Art Museum at UNC-Chapel Hill. Her paintings reside in the public collections of Duke University and the City of Raleigh. She is the recipient of a North Carolina Artist Support Grant (2021) and a Hambidge Center Residency (2021). She is a co-founder and co-curator of BASEMENT, an artist-run space in Chapel Hill that promotes experimental and critical art practices in the South.

Jack Reilly, Primary Unit with Double Diagonals, Acrylic on Shapped Canvas, 2012

Located in Santa Monica, CA

Painting on stretched canvas over sculpted stretcher bars, constructed by the artist. The work has been painted to give the illusion that it is a raised cube when in fact it is a 2-dimensional shaped canvas. Multiple acrylic paints and acrylic pigments have been used in each 'Stripe' of this work. Many are semi transparent or metallic pigments, causing a nice nuance in color depending on the lighting of the work. After receiving his MFA from Florida State University, in 1978 Jack Reilly moved to Los Angeles. His paintings were soon discovered by prominent Los Angeles art dealer Molly Barns, who offered him a solo exhibition with her gallery. Donald Brewer, curator of the Fisher Museum at the University of Southern California, introduced Reilly’s paintings in 1979 in a major museum exhibition entitled The Reality of Illusion, which opened at the Denver Art Museum and traveled for two years to the Oakland Museum, USC Fisher Museum, Johnson Museum at Cornell, Honolulu Academy of Arts, among other institutions nationwide. This series of museum exhibitions, along with numerous solo shows and reviews, established Reilly as one of the original artists of the Abstract illusionism painting movement. In 1979 Reilly received a National Endowment for the Arts Grant. Although he is best known for his abstract paintings on shaped canvas, he also works in representational imagery and mixed-media. By the early 1980s, Reilly's paintings were represented by galleries in major American cities including the Molly Barnes Gallery in Los Angeles, Aaron Berman Gallery in New York, Foster Goldstrom Fine Arts in San Francisco, Marilyn Butler gallery in Scottsdale and numerous others. Articles and reviews on Reilly's paintings were subsequently published in Arts Magazine, Art Week, the Los Angeles Times, New York Artworld, and in books including American Art Now by noted author and art critic Edward Lucie-Smith, and Inside the L.A. Artist by Marva Marrow. Such notable collectors of the era, including Fred and Marcia Weisman, Steve Martin...
