“Recent Drawings” by Daniel Zeller (CRF, 2007)
12 May—24 June, 2018
Book release event at PIEROGI in conjunction with Zeller’s current exhibition:
Tuesday, June 19th. 6–8pm
A one-person exhibition of recent works on paper by Daniel Zeller. In this new body of work Zeller continues to develop and expand upon his invented topo-cellular cartographic universe, utilizing the modest media of pencil, ink, and paper. The new drawings could all be part of the same world, each referencing different possible regions of that world. They seem to draw from one another—as Zeller continues to develop a language of marks and shapes—to create new terrains, new organisms. These drawings exhibit Zeller’s characteristic push/pull between macro and micro worlds, referencing biological, topographical, stratographic, astronomical, and other imagery that he has absorbed like a science nerd and reimagined to create entirely new forms. He blurs the boundaries between invention and reality with his convincing terrains, and tests even further by, in some instances, referencing actual places or entities.
