Resort is pleased to present two solo exhibition, Splutter, new works by Jack Coyle and Austin Eddy’s Wooden Mushroom Garden. Both artists present painting, drawing and sculpture.  In Coyle’s work, each medium and motif blends, defined only by the choice of traditional presentation - framed drawings, paintings on panel or bracing, and sculptures on pedestals.  Eddy approaches his series with limitations in place, forms, palette and scale predertmined, the variation created within them. The layering in Coyle’s pieces reflect an interest in unintentional, communal mark-making, layering of posters, graffiti and signage in unclaimed urban space.  Eddy’s pieces with their nods toward utility seem to reference the compression of time and trend present in thrift and second hand stores. In both Coyle and Eddy’s work, there is a nebulous nostalgia, slippery and hard to locate while still remaining familiar.
