Musician and visual artist Brian DeGraw presents new paintings at James Fuentes
Telepathic Echo (detail).



NEW YORK, NY.- James Fuentes is presenting Brian DeGraw's solo presentation at the gallery, GAMMA. The exhibition encompasses a grouping of paintings and drawings. Centering on an interest in healing frequencies, these works take as a root element the particular properties and therapeutic effects of a cat’s purr and presence, and more generally the physiological effects of drone. The title GAMMA refers to the frequency range that this purr tends to fall between (40Hz-100Hz). While much of DeGraw’s past work has had a direct relationship to music, he has spent that past three years becoming more familiar with the properties of painting and drawing, easing deeper into using color and working at a larger scale. Having taken some time away from the immersion of touring, performing, and recording live music, a pull in attention toward frequency, repetition, space, and silence can be located within DeGraw’s recent artworks. Translated visually, his previously more straightforward portraiture moves closer to abstraction, finding beauty in shapes, forms, and colors that are nevertheless bodily. GAMMA marks DeGraw’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery.

Further insight on the work can be found in a recent exchange with fellow artist, Rita Ackermann, which will also appear in the forthcoming publication JFP07: Brian DeGraw by James Fuentes Press.
