Gerald Zeldin
Canadian, 1943 - 2010
Gerald Zeldin’s recent work is concerned with ambiguity. Subtly nothing seems as it should. Zeldin’s images are carefully wrought, to the extent that he prepares preliminary sketches for his drawings. His work features strong design elements, somewhat architectural in feel, and unabashedly entertaining, using a musical quality of shape, colour and line to involve the viewer.
Zeldin expands on the notion that everything is on the move. It comes from someplace, stands still for that moment and moves on – a frozen moment in time, framed by the before and after, as a film takes place through time, one moment at a time. It is in this arresting and focused moment that Zeldin fashions much of his imagery.
Objects and things appear to be in transition, something is toppling, something just fell and things are waiting for events, forces. Something is about to change. A sense of time passing.
