"The Wound is the Place the Light Enters" focuses on Jake Berthot's 'skull' paintings; however, all of his work is defined by the gird that lies underneath. On display in our current exhibition is this early example of Jake's work where the grid becomes the focus. It offers unique perspective on his process that that evolved over time.

Jake Berthot held on to the geometry of the grid (all his sketches are grids) and the poetry of an indeterminate space.

In this unfinished work the grid - a constant under pinning of all his paintings - is revealed and the Skull by its very nature is laid bare, offering the steps to understanding as well as the pain of the unknown.

"It’s easy to view Elizabeth Enders’ paintings as sketch-like — spontaneous and simple. With her use of large blocks of color and basic shapes, she must get that a lot. In reality, seeing her work is at first like seeing the outside of an apartment building: Inside is the lobby, and only then, admission to the living spaces — some of them sparely decorated, for sure, but rich in artistic and personal vision." - Lisa McGinley for 'The Day', 2015

Betty Cuningham Gallery is pleased to present 'The Wound is the Place the Light Enters' online and at the gallery by appointment from October 14 through December 6, 2024.

The exhibition focuses upon 'Skulls', a subject that Berthot returned to intermittently up to the time of his death in December of 2014. The title is taken from a newly published book by Howard Norman. Together they mark a joint celebration of the life, work and wisdom of Jake Berthot.

“'Daily Dreams' is an exhibition that delivers nutritious works born of image, proficient language, instinct, and a generous spirit. We long for that which renders us speechless, creates moments of exhilaration and blindsides us in the realm of physics. Explanation disintegrates, logic disappears and immersion begins." - Glenn Goldberg, 2024

Tomorrow, Saturday, September 21, Judy Glantzman will be present at the ArtCake reception for ‘Daily Dreams’ from 4 -7 pm. We hope to see you there!
