SPECULATIV

Juan Dolhare creates systems that abandon the inherent nature of objects, rendering them adrift and void of meaning. Evoking a marked calmness, Dolhare’s careful precision resembles the exactness of a computer-generated image, honoring fractal patterns found in the natural environment. The insertion of perfectly straight lines and objects resembling contemporary functionality not found in nature offer a dichotomous dialogue to depict a surrealistic, fossilized world —one that strikes an almost-eerie sense of peace and balance. Further, the organization of these objects in ambiguous environments lead to a questioning of their meaning and their status as a sacred material good.

This new body of work will make its debut in Charlotte immediately following its presentation at Galeria Revolver in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A public opening celebration with the artist will take place at LaCa Projects on Thursday, September 13, from 6-8pm. Furthermore, Juan Dolhare will be staying in Charlotte this fall, where he will be completing his artist residency at the McColl Center for Art + Innovation from August 27 - December 4, 2018.
