’s work merges references to the body, architecture, language, and signage, collapsing these signifiers into sculptural forms that appear somewhat minimalist yet pack complex meaning. Using photography, sculpture, drawing, and painting, Maddux’s code-switching resists and complicates traditional notions of labeling, as it relates to both artistic genres and identity.

The works of employ layered surfaces that call on the intricacies of transparency, both physical and figurative. Painting is pushed beyond its normal material limits with painted vinyl and wood layered into complex, portal-like dioramas, actively asking us to peer in and decipher.

looks to the history of craft objects in classical painting, transforming them and the painterly gestures of the worlds they come from into ceramic sculptures. Using both digital and traditional production techniques, his references have us dancing between the past and the present with clay imitations of notched wooden stretcher bars, and appropriated figures that look like something out of a digital rendering.

Please join us next Thursday, June 11th for the opening of Multiple Fiefdoms, curated by !

To claim a fiefdom is to control or hold power over something. In modern times, the word extends beyond its traditional medieval roots of land and property and takes on a more abstracted connotation. Your fiefdom is whatever you are the lord of, whatever you hold sway over. Multiple Fiefdoms draws together the work of six visual artists, working across many mediums, whose practices claim many domains, and refuse to sit in a single category.
