Hudson Happenings

Art House Productions is proud to present “Trans-lucid” - an exhibition of illuminated works by Frank

Ippolito

Ippolito is an artist based in Jersey City. His fascination with the scattering of light passing through a translucent surface is the focus of his latest exhibit.

With “Trans-lucid,” the passage of light through various substrates creates a tension between what is known and what remains a mystery. He uses mixedmedia constructs that combine photography, painting, found objects, and internal illumination. In a few of the pieces, he introduces the element of time and invites the viewer to become the engine of motion.

The imagery he explores arises from wildly different impulses. In “Trans-lucid” he explores themes of separation and connection - the otherness as well as the humanity of communities that thrive along the margins. Light becomes the absence of shadow. Sound becomes the absence of silence. These are the questions being asked. “Frank’s alluring work brims with figures recognizable to the Jersey City community, allowing the work to be personal and inviting. The personalities of the figures in the work seem to come from the darkness or fade back into it, leaving the viewer questioning their connection to the world in which they have been placed,” says Art House Gallery Director, Andrea McKenna.
