In Tenebris, James Bouché and Kyle Tata engage in the historically grounded practice of taking objects in the studio and translating them into finished works. Bouché takes a tangible, action-oriented approach by using the psychical half tone pattern of mesh fabric as both a surface treatment and a positive for screen printing. The images emerging from Tata's studio are instantly recognizable and informed by contemporary still lives. He crafts the atmosphere, clarity and composition to reflect each object's unique qualities; a meticulous, yet hazy composition of a drink ring and wishbones, sharp concrete forms and a deep darkness with subtle fauna.
