Gabe Langholtz + Karen Lederer: COMMON PLACE on view March 20th – April 10th 2021

NEW YORK CITY – Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Common
Place, our debut solo exhibitions with Austin-based Gabe Langholtz and
Brooklyn-based artist Karen Lederer. Both artists celebrate the everyday in
their work, reframing the familiar through their varied explorations of color, cropping, pattern and unfinished storytelling. Utilizing the gallery as a common place to explore overlapping concepts, the artists observe and
embrace the commonplace, honoring the simple moments that may
ultimately prove to be the most memorable.


In the tradition of folk art, Gabe Langholtz routinely depicts mundane
objects and activities to establish a contemporary narrative, drawing on
humor, parody and pastiche as tools for social commentary. Langholtz aims to dismantle preconceived notions around the concept of repetition,
consciously embracing the inherent beauty and psychological comfort of
patterns and recurring motifs. Langholtz’ works carry a sense of anticipation,evoking curiosity for the un-known next scene. The self-taught artist has exhibited nationwide, including at
BravinLee programs and The Painting Center in NYC, and Good Mother Gallery in Oakland. The artist was also featured in New American Paintings Issue No. 144.


Karen Lederer emphasizes the role of curation, artistic influence, consumerism, point-of-view, still-life and aesthetics in our daily life in her work. Her paintings are full of contradictions, being abstract and
representational, grounded yet placeless, mundane yet surreal. The artist focuses on color exploration in her practice, playing with the inherent qualities of ink and paint, incorporating printmaking techniques to create a
collaged effect on the singular, continuous surface. Calling attention to the act of looking and our relationship to the images, Lederer creates environments that are simultaneously constructed and artificial, both private and personal. The artist has exhibited extensively, including at Tennis Elbow, Morgan Lehman, and Field Projects in NYC. Lederer was also an artist-in-residence at Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, Lower
East Side Printshop, and the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program.


The gallery will be open by appointment only. In order to ensure the health and safety of visitors and staff, note that masks are legally required for entry. To schedule an appointment, please click HERE.

ABOUT THE GALLERY:
Hashimoto Contemporary is located in San Francisco, CA and New York, NY. Our roster consists of an eclectic blend of new contemporary artists. With monthly rotating exhibitions, our programming focuses on a range
of painting, sculpture and installation-based work. You can also visit us at a variety of international art fairs in Miami, New York, London, San Francisco and Los Angeles.


ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Gabe Langholtz is an American painter, living and working in Austin Texas. His work, although primarily representational, is indebted to American Color Field painting, focusing on color relations, pattern making,
form and line with little concern for depth and proportion. His paintings are an amalgamation of color, texture and pattern, with a heavy emphasis on the two-dimensional surface of the canvas. Langholtz is influenced by
the work of Mary Fedden, Philip Guston, Agnes Martin and Gary Bunt, while folk art and collage heavily inform his distinctive style. The self-taught artist has exhibited nationwide, including at BravinLee programs
and The Painting Center in NYC, and Good Mother Gallery in Oakland. The artist was also featured in New American Paintings Issue No. 144.


Karen Lederer received her BFA in Printmaking and Drawing from Washington University in St. Louis in 2008 and an MFA in Printmaking from Rhode Island School of Design in 2012. She was an artist in residence at
Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, Lower East Side Printshop, and the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program. Her work has recently been featured in solo exhibitions at One River School, Guilford College Art Gallery, Tennis Elbow at The Journal Gallery, Grant Wahlquist Gallery, and Field Projects.

She has participated in many group exhibitions most recently at Morgan Lehman, Danese/Corey, Gloria’s Project Space, The Flinn Gallery, and Ortega Y Gasset Projects. In addition to her studio practice, Lederer also currently teaches classes and workshops at LaGuardia Community College, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Lower East Side Printshop, Manhattan Graphics Center, and Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. She lives and works in
Brooklyn.
