Review[Gustavo] Ojedas drawings perform a highwire act, crossing and recrossing from abstraction into figuration and back again with... alacrity, finesse, and resolve. Johnathan D. Katz Associate professor at the University of PennsylvaniaIn these sketches of New York City in the 1980s... [o]ne suddenly becomes aware of the tension in the tine of a fork, or in the arc of a streetlamp. Sianne Ngai Author of Ugly FeelingsProduct DescriptionA revelatory trove of Gustavo Ojedas previously unseen 1980s drawings of New Yorkers in motionCuban American painter Gustavo Ojeda (195889) was known primarily for his lush and meditative urban nightscapes, which brought him notoriety in the 1980s downtown New York art scene. He exhibited alongside artists such as JeanMichel Basquiat, Keith Haring and David Wojnarowicz, before dying from AIDSrelated complications in 1989, just two weeks shy of his 31st birthday.Ojeda's paintings were notably unpopulated; in his private sketches, however, Ojeda fixated on the people of New York, filling thousands of pages with disembodied faces, the bodies of sleeping people riding public transportation and on the street.In the margins of his sketchbooks, Ojeda often wrote that he felt anxious about his productivity, shaming himself for not being able to paint more. An Excess of Quiet answers Ojedas worries with the recovery of what was always right in front of him, his most obsessive and tender practice.
