Manuscript of the press release written by Roberto Chabet for his exhibition, 'He Couldn't Draw Hands,' at The Brix Gallery from 27 November - 19 December 1990.
The exhibition features 'two works each made up of a set of separate paintings. The first work, Delays and Early Arrivals, explores time, delays, waiting, false starts, and unexpected arrivals. The second, How To Make A Rainbow, is a homage to Joseph Cornell from whose 1963 - 1965 collage the title was borrowed. Both works pay tribute to what is magical, transcendent, and ineffable in the commonplace.'
The title of the exhibition, 'He Couldn't Draw Hands,' refers to a comment made about the work of Marcel Duchamp - 'He couldn't draw hands, but he can sure draw blood in his work.'
