The Center for Contemporary Art, Sacramento presents The Conundrum of Abundance, an exhibition of paintings by Chester Arnold, Scott Greene, and Julie Heffernan. Arnold, Greene and Heffernan all share an affinity for abundance in their paintings. While the imagery differs, the works share a pre or post-apocalyptical narrative that simultaneously embraces this abundance, and questions it.
Chester Arnold’s paintings of stacked or strewn objects most directly relate to an acknowledgment of, and perhaps an infatuation with, ordinary objects; with those things in our lives that we acquire, use and/or abuse, and eventually discard (or allow to remain) when their usefulness has diminished.
Scott Greene’s images, which include paintings of impossibly dense piles of satellite dishes, confront the viewer with a visual representation of our communication obsession, reminding us that Big Brother is indeed watching, while begging the question “How much is too much?”
Julie Heffernan’s candy-coated palette of miniature vignettes reveal personal dramas that reference everything from history painting, to mythology, to kitsch. Ultimately, the riddle presented by the work of these three artists in the Conundrum of Abundance is one that the viewer must solve.
