Tif Sigfrids is happy to announce a group show entitled Cash 4 Life with new work by Al Freeman, Tyson Reeder, Jennifer Rochlin, and Adrianne Rubenstein. The show will remain open through July 30th. A closing reception, featuring a special performance by Athens, Georgia based band Pervert, will take place on July 30th from 5 – 7 PM. The exhibition marks the second time this group of artists have exhibited together at the gallery, the first being in our New York space at the onset of 2022.

For the show, Jennifer Rochlin presents a new ceramic sculpture with imagery depicting a couples romantic meandering around the city of Paris. A café in the Marais, the Gustave Moreau Museum, and a kiss shared under the temple in the Buttes-Chaumont Park just after their engagement. The sequence of events inscribed around the circumference of the pot is suggestive of the Ancient Greek wedding vases “lebes gamikos” used in prenuptial rituals.

In proximity, Al Freeman’s vinyl sculpture Soft Lotto Ticket is like an oversized good luck charm tantalizing in its suggestion of funds to last an entire lifetime. Enlarged and unscratched, it resonates wistfully reminding us of the long road ahead. As with all of the artist’s work, there’s a charged simplicity to the objects which render a universal familiarity.

Adrianne Rubenstein’s painting Floating Flowers is similarly deadpan in its direct relationship between subject and title. The artist has said it before, “they’re flower paintings” a statement that almost seems meant to misdirect the viewer and undermine everything about the surface of the painting that isn’t a floating flower. Moving around the large work, you’ll discover a myriad of abstract realities and just when you’re reminded of Ryman’s white paintings, you’ll fall into a spectrum of color and confident brushstrokes that take you somewhere else entirely.

The journey through Tyson Reeder’s landscape paintings can also be misleading at first glance. In Autoroute des Deux Mers, we encounter a slew of recognizable realities. Mountains, clouds, and cars driving over a bridge. This highly fictionalized world quickly breaks down into a painting comprised of the most distinct language of color and form. The lightness of the surfaces, in many instances a single coat of paint, almost seem to float above the surface of the canvas creating the dreamiest scene only the artist could conjure.
