    In Mending Fences, Natale Adgnot and Tegan Brozyna Roberts use textile art to conceptually and materially explore how to pay better attention to one’s surroundings and look for ways to repair frayed relationships. The title of the exhibition references both artists’ use of thread, Brozyna Roberts’ explorations of overlooked details in everyday surroundings like worn layers of paint that accumulate on fences and other objects in the built environment, and Adgnot’s work that cautions against the human tendency to rush to judgment instead of looking for pathways to connect.

    Opening Reception: Nov. 2, 5:30-7:30pm

    Location:
    TINT Gallery
    149 Gough Street
    San Francisco, CA 94102


    TINT is pleased to announce “Environment as Material,” featuring works by Tegan Brozyna Roberts and Nina Casson McGarva. Both artists come from families of craftsmen and find inspiration in the environments in which they live. Brozyna Roberts explores her urban surroundings in New York, finding source material in the smallest of details: crack in a sidewalk, paint on a fence, discarded paper fragments. Coming from a lineage of seamstresses, Brozyna Roberts borrows from the structure and language of weaving, creating artwork that is full of movement and memory. Similarly, Casson McGarva’s glassworks seem to move in their stillness. Her glass-making process mirrors nature’s cycles: the material is at its most alive when it’s hot and being transformed. Then it becomes solid and still. Surrounded by nature in her upbringing in rural France and current surroundings in Gloucestershire, England, Casson McGarva brings nature to life in her art.


    Hours:
    Thurs - Sat 1:00pm - 7:00pm

    Location:
    TAC Gallery
    505 Carroll St, Brooklyn, NY 11215


    Permutations is a two-person exhibition of new abstract artworks by Tegan Brozyna Roberts and Erin Juliana at the TAC Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, curated by John Richey. This collection of wall-mounted soft sculptures, paper tapestries, paintings, and collages use repurposed materials and the language of formal abstraction to explore personal and family histories. Each artist embraces a sense of spontaneity and the unknown as they weave, bind, and layer found or fabricated elements into this brightly colored group of intimate artworks. Inspired by a shared interest in the history of textiles, each artist's process is meditative and organic, referencing ideas of healing and repair, and blurring the line between traditional notions of painting and sculpture.

  • Radiate & Repeat

    Radiate & Repeat

    Spring 2023 Exhibition
    I Like Your Work Podcast

    Curated by Christina Massey

    Curator Statement:
    "As one scrolls through the selected artworks in Radiate & Repeat, themes of sunsets, meditation and pattern will become evident. Colors such as neon pinks, oranges and blues repeat through the artworks, exploring tranquility and beauty with an edge of something being slightly off-balance or unnatural. There is a sense of an otherworldly, futuristic look at the relationship of the built environment to the natural world and how the two interact and create new patterns. Works largely fall into the warm and cool palette with pops of lavenders and greens, like highlights of the transitions from day to night or the present to the future. Selected artworks give a sense of a contemplative mood, reflecting on themes of ephemerality, change, and transience.

    Imperfection is explored through the repetition of lines, shapes, texts, and patterns that evolve, adapt, dissipate, and expand. There is an acknowledgment of flaws that feels meditative, growth-oriented, organic, and full of both hope and despair. Symmetry is disturbed with off-kilter angles and tension of balance. Works live neither in the realm of photorealism or abstract geometric perfection, but in an acceptance of the between, with painterly gestural marks, perspective angles off-centered and drip marks that feel spontaneous and unplanned.

    Several artists address the human impact on the environment through issues such as climate change, pollution, and the loss of biodiversity and encourage us toward a more sustainable future. Other artists are commenting on social patterns and potential outcomes as alterations, progression and growth occur through our language and social interactions. In both instances, there is a predictive manner that the artists are suggesting that can be seen as either a tale of warning, a neon glowing potentially toxic future or one that is malleable, though changing our own patterns, potential for a more positive outcome."

    Turn-in-the-Path

    April 7-30, 2023
    Opening Reception: April 7, 7-9pm

    Location:
    Established Gallery
    75 6th Avenue
    Brooklyn, NY 11217

    I'm pleased to announce Turn-in-the-Path, my first solo show with Established Gallery opening on April 7th. The show includes a series of new works.

    The concept of Turn-in-the-Path comes from the lexicon of medieval illuminated manuscripts, specifically the Book of Kells. The term refers to the insertion of text or letters into the blank sections and margins of the page. This was a way for scribes to aesthetically emphasize the meaning of the words, but it also allowed them to innovate the layout of the page to correct for mistakes in transcription and to deal with physical imperfections in the calf-skin vellum. Similarly, I embrace this notion of finding freedom within the confines and limitations of my materials and process. The physical structure of the work is consistent (i.e. warp and weft/layer over layer), but each piece in Turn-in-the-Path is unique in composition and feel. Working intuitively, the layers build upon the ones preceding. It is a dialogue between myself and the work where I wrestle and finesse with the forms and threads to create a sense of harmony.

    Meta Open Arts (formerly Facebook AIR) supports the creation of new and experimental projects globally, aiming to build community through art.

    Concept:
    In a time of unprecedented technological innovation, our daily lives are increasingly intertwined and interdependent —broadening our concept of neighbor, and blurring geographical and cultural boundaries. In response to this reality, I have created a new landscape that investigates relationships between geographical places while also building a dialogue between color and material.

    In addition to exploring boundaries, the work pulls from the long-held quilting tradition of reusing discarded remnants to create something new. I am intrigued by the the idea that materials like paper paper maps inherently retain memory from its intended purpose as a navigation tool and also physically with each fold and mark.

    Location:
    GoggleWorks
    Cohen Gallery East
    201 Washington St.
    Reading, PA 19601

    I am pleased to announce my solo exhibition Haptic Terrains at GoggleWorks in Reading, PA. The show features site-specific installation as well as collage and woven paintings. 

    “Drawing from both my background in traditional landscape painting and my interest in weaving, my current body of work focuses on my relationship to place. As part of this exploration, I collect artifacts in the form of objects, shapes and color palettes. By investigating the smaller aspects of my daily environment, particularly those that I can hold in the palm of my hand, I able to connect to a place. This process helps me to experience the intimate in an immense and often complex landscape.

    Using this source material as inspiration, I create woven paper collages that are modular with small forms being dissected and gathered, much like stones accumulating into a mountain. Each piece relates directly to a specific location. The color palette is inspired by found objects, and the organic paper forms take their shape from rubbings of cracks and other physical markings in that same environment. Borrowing from the language of weaving, clusters of paper are layered and suspended in space by the tension of threads. Delicate yet strengthened by their interwoven structure, these forms reach upward in harmony. This reflects a need to find and cultivate peace in a world clamoring with noise.”

  • Catch As Catch Can

    Catch As Catch Can

    August 9 - 29, 2018
    Opening Reception: August 9, 6:30 - 9pm

    Featuring:
    Paige Beeber, Melissa Capasso, Madeline Donahue and Estefania Velez Rodriguez

    Curated by: Tegan Brozyna Roberts

    Statement:
    "We are all drawn to story and, for better for for worse, the reflection of our own image. Moving beyond the current fads of social media and the prevalence of the “selfie” we have always been fascinated by the human - both our own unique experience and the lives of others. As humans we have an innate need to understand and to be understood. Stories allow us to both connect to our shared humanity, and conversely, to walk around in another person’s shoes - to step outside of our own perspective. Artists working in narrative tap into this urge, and employing the human form or even just a hint of it - a leg, an eye - are able to speak volumes.

    The artists of Catch As Catch Can reflect a sort of gritty honestly in their unique story-telling as well as a sometimes dark sense of humor; life is after all a beautiful, messy, comical and at times a tragic enterprise. There is a certain fearlessness in presenting the human experience and form as raw and flawed. This is particularly true as it applies to the female, which has historically been filtered through the male ideal of “perfect mother” or “sex goddess.” Moving beyond this sanitized and limited view, Beeber, Capasso, Donahue and Velez Rodriguez all weave vivacious and thought-provoking stories out of seemingly banal situations and everyday occurrences.

    Beeber’s paintings, direct and cheeky, explore and respond to the daily indignities of the modern day woman. These snippets unfold in comical, and at times uncomfortable scenes. Dissected limbs precariously dance around everyday objects and symbols of daily peril like dull razors, tampons, and the ever present and leering male gaze.

    Capasso allows mercurial notions of motherhood, femininity, gender, sex, and politics to spill onto the paper. Each work is a sounding board where thoughts and feelings are wrestled with, and at times set free like an exorcism. Honest and irreverent, human forms fuse with symbolism to create knotted, self-contained novels that need to be unbound.

    Donahue’s paintings and sculptures act as unabashed tableaus of motherhood and the female experience. Although personal and at times tender, these are not picturesque. Rather, her work presents comical scenes of everyday life rarely addressed in art - the postpartum body, a mother awkwardly contorting to breastfeed her baby, and the strange balancing act of life with a toddler.

    Velez Rodriguez’s paintings read like a singular scene from an unfolding novel or perhaps a film still. The heavy brushstrokes and vibrating neon colors hint to the musings of an artist, who grapples with identity as well as a yearning for connection with the cultures, people and places that both inhabit her past and define her present."

    Brooklyn, NY 11215

    Featuring:
    Jean Alexander Frater, Tegan Brozyna Roberts, Delphine Hennelly, Taylor McMahon and Rose Nestler

    Statement:
    " Borrowed is a collection of works inspired by textile techniques and traditions. There has been a longstanding debate about the value of the fine or “high arts” verses craft or the “applied arts.” As a part of the later, weaving, sewing, embroidery, etc. have historically been relegated to a lower status than the more celebrated arts of painting, drawing and sculpture. The tastemakers and writers of art history, themselves predominantly Eurocentric and male, viewed textiles as too utilitarian, too feminine, and too steeped in tradition to be a valid mode of expression.

    However, many of today's artists are unconcerned with this distinction. Rather than embracing limiting philosophies and labels, these makers intersperse textile techniques, traditions and concepts into their art. With one foot in each world, these artists see the infinite potential of textiles to push their art in new and innovative ways."

    -Tegan Brozyna Roberts

    The exhibition is part of New York Textile Month. The show and the opening reception are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday from 12 - 3pm or by appointment.

    Curated by Aisha Tandiwe Bell

    This past year, Vito Acconci has been our Master advisor in the Brooklyn College MFA program. His words have guided us to perceive with new eyes and ears, open thoughts and minds. Big SMALL Works is a sampling of our most recent work.

    “Start thinking-about/dreaming-of/designing/making a light (or lighting): start by thinking of light as a point of light, a dot of light...But, as long as the light remains a dot, a point, a mark, then the light can’t go anywhere, it’s only a point-in-itself, it’s enclosed in itself, it’s stopped by itself...In order for the light to light, to be lighting, to be light itself, to make illumination, to give out light, it has to go out of itself, it has to throw light, like throwing one’s voice...So make a light that refuses to stay stuck in itself, make a point of light that becomes a line of light -- a point of light that stretches from here to there, that spreads from here to elsewhere -- a point of light that produces, that results in, a ray of light, a channel of light, a beam of light, a volume of light...Don’t stop now, don’t stop where you are: bring your eyelids down, start to close your eyes, your eyelids are quivering, your vision blurs -- in your mind’s eye, or maybe from under your eyelids, the point of light has deformed into a blur of light, a haze of light, an ooze of light, a fog of light...”
    — Vito Acconci

  • RSVP 3

    RSVP 3

    July 14 - August 14, 2012
    Opening Reception, Saturday, July 14, 2012, 4 – 6:30 pm

    Location:
    LG Tripp Gallery
    47 N. 2nd St.
    Philadelphia, PA 19106

    Featuring:
    Ryan Cobourn, Paul Davis Jones, Michele Kishita, Yvonne Love, Mircea Popescu and Michael Yoder, John Dickerson, Robert Dodge, Joseph Iacona and Colleen McCubbin Stepanic, Victoria Pepe, James Perry and Tegan M. Brozyna

    LGTripp Gallery continues its tradition of a summer invitational. This exhibition is the intersection of the variegated histories of thirteen artists. The disparity of the rich and expansive career of the mature artist to the enthusiastic, tenuous beginning of the recent art school graduate, the educated and the self taught artists, expressing their creativity and experiences through a myriad of styles, mediums and techniques, each with their own individual approaches to abstraction. It is at this juncture of abstraction that their paths converge.

    This year RSVP 3 is showcasing thirteen artists, twelve exhibiting here for the first time. The exhibition will feature paintings by Ryan Cobourn, Paul Davis Jones, Michele Kishita, Yvonne Love, Mircea Popescu and Michael Yoder, drawings by John Dickerson, Robert Dodge, Joseph Iacona and Colleen McCubbin Stepanic, video by Victoria Pepe, sculpture by James Perry and installation by Tegan M. Brozyna. These artists are based in Philadelphia and the surrounding region.

    Gallery hours: Tuesday by appointment, Wednesday 12- 5pm, Thursday - Saturday 11-6pm

    September 12-November 28, 2010

    Location:
    Second Space Arts
    900 East Howell St., Second Floor
    Philadelphia, PA

    Featuring:
    Tegan M. Brozyna and Yvonne Valenza

    Curated by Timothy Gierschick


    "Looking at topography (the “lay of the land”) or cartography (maps) should then resonate with our guts – our instincts, so to speak – and visually remind us that extremes are often incorrect: the truth is often somewhere nearer the middle. The meandering lines found in Tegan Brozyna’s paintings and works on paper are a fine synthesis of the linear and the circular versions of journey. In a real sense, rather than life being a journey, life is journeying: the passive becomes active. In Brozyna’s works, we visually walk with her over hill and dale; through the streets and avenues of America, all the while enjoying the view afforded by Brozyna’s joyful re-working of the landscape, and its realignment into a more ambiguous space. Painted on “bird’s-eye view” maps, the lines we actually traipse on morph into a more horizon-based experience: our progression is pleasant, but somewhat mysterious, because of this ambiguity. As the French post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin asks in his famous painting title, Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?"
