Ted Zilius: “Sad and Jazz”
\nMarch 9-May 9, 2017<\/h2>\n

Opening reception: Thursday, March 9, 5-7PM<\/p>\n

“Sad and Jazz” is an exhibition of mixed media paintings by Ted Zilius.<\/p>\n

Zilius juxtaposes two different approaches to his mixed media paintings in “Sad and Jazz”. The older works rely on the content of the collaged images, sometimes combined with words and subtle color, to evoke a feeling or stimulate thought. The new works, or \u201cjazz\u201d pieces, have random collage elements and a livelier palette, with a focus on color, rhythm, timing, and movement. His use of music and movement while working inspires spontaneity and contributes a contrast between the older work and newer pieces. Zilius said his work process is \u201cDance, tear out magazine pages. Dance, paste down pages. Dance, lay on resists. Dance, smear on paint. Dance. Then decide. Is it done? Dance!\u201d His musical inspirations are wide ranging, from Willie Nelson to Miles Davis.<\/p>\n

Zilius studied painting with Ad Reinhart, graphic design with Henry Wolf and Milton Glaser, then worked at Robert P. Gersin Design in New York City, all the while dancing and painting whenever possible. His subsequent move to the West Coast provided him with additional design experience in the offices of Frank Gehry and Charles Eames. However, \u201cfear of earthquakes\u201d drove him to New Jersey to design toys for Creative Playthings. At this point, dancing while painting had become an important aspect of his personal creative process. He moved to Vermont, where he designed and built houses, furniture, and, of course, created more paintings.<\/p>\n
