The Intersection of Surface, Texture, and Abstraction

In 2019 at the Florence Griswold Museum CT, Jac Lahav curated a grouping of historical pallets along with some from his collection in the final gallery of his exhibition. This began a long journey into the history of surfaces. Interested in the palimpsest nature of a painting Lahav began a series of abstract works which are meditations on surface, gesture, and the watery Turner-esque depth of Lahav’s pallets.

RECORD PAINTINGS


In the groundbreaking exhibition "Hot 100: Record Paintings," contemporary artist Jac Lahav offers a unique fusion of painting, contemporary art, and music through a series of over 100 paintings inspired by iconic record covers. Drawing from their vast vinyl collection, Lahav reimagines the visual and auditory essence of influential hip-hop, rock and roll, and various music genres, bridging the gap between personal nostalgia and collective memory. This series not only celebrates the profound impact of music on our cultural landscape but also showcases Lahav's exceptional ability to translate the ephemeral nature of sound into captivating visual art. With limited prints available from their Spring/Break Art Fair showcase in September 2023, "Hot 100: Record Paintings" invites art and music enthusiasts into an analog oasis, rekindling the deep connections between auditory and visual artistic expression in our digitally dominated era.
