VERSO Presents Nathan Eugene Carson
All Things Are True
New Portraits by Nathan Eugene Carson
November 20th – December 8th, 2013
Opening November 21st, 6pm-8pm.
Beauty is imperfect. Flaws make one curious and less comfortable. This is truth. Nathan can draw a perfect portrait. He is trained to do so. But we are not perfect. It is indeed more interesting when the alternative is allowed to surface. A child can play in a puddle for hours. It is messy. It is wet. There is likely no sunshine. But it makes her happy. Something so simple that nature created. Nostalgia brings us back and her smile sets us at ease. And this is true. All things are true… xo

FINAL WEEK: Drawings by Katie Kehoe

VERSO Presents Katie Kehoe
Revolutions (AND)
Drawings by Katie Kehoe
October 17-November 17, 2013
Opening: October 17, 6-9 p.m.
In this series of drawings, Katie treats the circular form as an organization of halves and parts composed of hand written repetitions of the word ‘AND’. The design of repetition combines the non-stop, all covering style that characterizes her early work with generative patterns inspired by Stephen Wolfram’s theory of Cellular Automata (a method of visualizing math wherein repeated applications of a rule reveal a pattern) and her impulse to break down these generative formations to imply randomness.
Using ‘AND’ as a mode of expression as well as a structural tool, Katie creates work that is at once formal and conceptual.

VERSO Inaugural Exhibition Review
Street art study
Julie Jenkinson transforms street art
By David Jager
Verso Gallery (1160 Queen West), to October 13. 416-533-6362.See listing. NOW RATING: NNNN
“Her gift for seeing order in chaos is shown most vividly in her studies of Uruguayan city walls. Here, the intentional hand of the graffiti artist is replaced by abstract textures and surfaces.”….”Jenkinson transforms corners of the city into concise meditations on pure visual experience. Grittiness never looked so sharp.” read full review
Introducing VERSO Gallery
VERSO is a new gallery in the heart of Queen street’s West end, situated between
The Drake and Gladstone Hotels. Nestled behind mid century design haven,
INabstracto, VERSO will exhibit a diverse range of design, drawing, sculpture,
painting, video/film and photography.
CURRENT EXHIBITION (until October 13)
36 Hours in Uruguay & Berlin Street Art
Photography by Julie Jenkinson
Jenkinson’s exhibit moves from documentation of Berlin Street art to her nuanced photo documentation of urban surfaces in Uruguay. Jenkinson’s original fascination with Berlin graffiti has evolved into a record of city surfaces that organically erode and accrue meaning. As such, they become a deeper study of how urban environments and visual signs are formed by a city and its residents over the passing of time, forming entirely new connections and resonances.
