Franz Jantzen: Ostinato
In music, "ostinato" is the repetition of a note, motif or phrase wherein no one element is more important than any other. In common use, the term can include slight variations in repetitions to aid the development of the piece as a whole. This musical tool is the backbone of Jantzen's newest body of assemblages, which range in subject matter from a Santeria altar, to the historic Loew's Theater, and the artist's own bathtub.

Willem de Looper:
Paintings 1968 – 72
It is with great excitement that HEMPHILL presents four large scale paintings from the late 1960s and early 1970s by Willem de Looper (1932 – 2009). These four paintings are part of de Looper's body of stained color field works created at the height of the Washington Color School movement. De Looper eschewed graphic gesture to present atmospheric imagery without any reference beyond a purely visual experience.
