William Tillyer's Cadiz Caprices Exhibition at Jacobson Howard Gallery Features Stainless Steel Mesh Paintings
The exhibition 'The Cadiz Caprices' by William Tillyer took place at Jacobson Howard Gallery in New York City from December 2, 2008, to January 17, 2009. It presented abstract artworks created on stainless steel mesh, highlighting the traditional canvas's woven grid. These pieces originated during a residency in Cadiz, Spain, in 2006 and were finalized in 2008, including works such as 'Viva' (2008) and 'Espana' (2007-08), which draw inspiration from artists like Joan Miró and Roy Lichtenstein. Notably, 'Andalucian Split' (2007-08) features trompe l'oeil techniques. The exhibition also included watercolors from the 'Cocktail Work' series and a print named 'The Scent of a Woman' (2008). Critics Norbert Lynton and Peter Fuller commended Tillyer's innovative structure.
