For Ryan Crotty’s second exhibition with the gallery, Diviner, the newest two part iteration of his work presents itself in several distinct series. Along with certain transitional pieces emerging from a result of chance encounters with his media’s threshold, the surprisingly cohesive and broad range of forms organically feed into each other as a sort of non-linear evolution. For nearly a decade, Crotty’s work has been an investigation into the uncertain mechanisms of contemporary painting media. Through various means of experiment-based pushing and pulling techniques, he coaxes his oeuvre of materials to do his bidding without confining his intent to anything definitive. Rather, his process involves stumbling through the unknown to find the answer.
