GANG CHANT
Caleb Kortokrax
August 22鈥揝eptember 21, 2018
GANG CHANT, an exhibition of new paintings by 2018 Borgeson Artist in Residence , reinterprets spacial conventions through merging abstract and literal description
in his motifs. Kortokrax reanimates the idiosyncratic language of illuminated manuscripts
of the Romanesque era in England by expanding its pictorial depth and putting it in
conversation with his own notion of abstraction, perception and experiential color.
The paintings incant song that harkens back to their own historical lineage; being
objects of the present, they unconsciously speak in cryptic terms.
Kortokrax is an American painter living and working in Baltimore, Maryland. Rooted in the interdisciplinary spirit, his paintings are an exercise in unlearning and relearning how to see. Kortokrax received his MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art鈥檚 LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting and his BSFA in studio art and art education from Valparaiso University.
