TweetTHE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY
2014-09-01In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award (R)-winner Helen Mirren), gets wind of it. Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own, escalate to all out war between the two establishments – until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine and for Mme.

TweetTOREY THORNTON – SOME NARROW SLEEPING
2014-09-01Torey Thornton’s exhibition, titled Some Narrow Sleeping, presents a group of paintings depicting content that articulates a visual concept falling on a spectrum between realism and abstraction. His straightforward medium emphasizes the flatness of surface, and his approach at rendering imagery exaggerates the crudeness of his forms. Inspired by collage and readily accessible material, Thornton’s narratives break tradition through idiosyncratic arrangements and refined simplicity.
For the past year, the artist has been concerned with the idea of perception – how the mind perceives an image. Thornton’s new work involves visual manipulations of scale and perspective, which inherently confuse interpretation – what might appear as a horizon line to one person could look like a tabletop to another. For instance, he may place a car on a “horizon” line next to a bowl of fruit. Is it a toy car, or is the fruit bowl gigantic?
Thornton’s work opens a dialogue by his introduction of certain forms and colors; the interaction of seemingly impulsive combinations causes the mind to react. Through scale shifts, morphing of shapes, and presenting chromatic anomalies, a visual tension arises. Familiar imagery becomes questionable – is it objective or subjective? The artist employs purposeful confusion. Using calculated distortion alongside a liberated method, his binary compositions trigger what the mind wants to see, versus what may be actually present.
