Talk | Artists Choose Parrish: Ned Smyth and John Torreano

Join us for a conversation with artists Ned Smyth and John Torreano, whose work is on view in Artists Choose Parrish, Part II, moderated by Corinne Erni, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator, Art and Education. The landmark exhibition honors the East End’s rich artistic legacy and brings greater attention to major artists practicing here today. Forty-one renowned artists with deep local roots were invited to select works from the collection to be shown along with their own, offering new perspectives and interpretations of the Parrish’s permanent collection.
For his Artists Choose Parrish presentation, Ned Smyth chose Louise Nevelson’s Untitled (ca. late 1970s) painted wood sculpture to be in direct dialogue with his two cast concrete works from 1973, Post Annunciation and Renaissance Plan. When deciding on which pieces he would like to include, Smyth explained “I have always wanted to show my early minimalist architectural work at the Parrish. When I was asked to be part of Artists Choose Parrish, I immediately suggested showing my cast concrete two-by-four architectural pieces.” Smyth was drawn to Nevelson’s work due to their shared monochromatic palette and their mutual success of commissioned work during their careers.
When going through the Museum’s collection, John Torreano instantly thought of Dennis Oppenheim’s Splash Building (2009) to show alongside his works, 4 x 4 (1989) and Paint in Some Holes (1995). When discussing his process for selecting Oppenheim’s late work, he noted, “Splash Building (2009) was one of the first works I thought of when asked to choose from the Parrish’s permanent collection. I was attracted to its scale, the combination of materials and mix of colors and light, but most important, its potential multiple interpretations: a building or a splash building, a Pop artwork, a three-dimensional drawing, etc. My experience with it is always a delightful surprise.” Torreano’s subject matter of the universe is on full display with his sculptural paintings that evoke the vastness of the cosmos with their large, jeweled panels, a common feeling of Torreano’s evoked by Oppenheim’s oversized interpretation of a splashing water droplet.

Friday Nights are made possible, in part, by The Corcoran Group.
