Joseph Montgomery’s paintings, named in the sequential order, at Laurel Gitlen

Filed under Art Events & Exhibitions

NEW YORK, NY.- Velveteen begins with Image One Hundred Nineteen and ends with Image One Hundred Thirty-Six. Named in the sequential order in which they are completed, Joseph Montgomery’s paintings are propelled by a sense of adjacency, where each work sets the conditions for the next. In his second solo exhibition at the gallery, Montgomery’s approach to generating paintings is both streamlined and complicated by combinatory structures, repeated forms (shims or wedges), and radical scale shifts. Shifting between positions of painting, [...]

Filed under Art Events & Exhibitions

LOS ANGELES, CA.- In his second solo exhibition at Cherry and Martin, Erik Frydenborg develops a sustained examination of a single, found scholastic illustration. Through a series of dissections, alterations, and physical reconstructions of the original image, Frydenborg merges elements of collage, sculpture, display architecture, and a “timeline” of taxonomic wall reliefs, constructing a chimerical museum environment. In an elliptical blending of analysis and fiction, the objects on view are presented as historical artifacts from the obsolescent work of a vaguely described, [...]

LONDON.- Haunch of Venison presents the first solo show in Britain by acclaimed Iraqi-born artist Ahmed Alsoudani. In this new series of paintings, Alsoudani continues his complex exploration of war and conflict, its physical atrocities and psychological consequences. Featuring deformed, almost bestial, figures twisting in vivid and surreal landscapes, these tableaux are often laced with a barbed or morbid humour in the manner of artists such as Francisco Goya and Max Beckmann among others. Imagery of devastation and violence abounds, with figures [...]

SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Cain Schulte Contemporary Art presents a solo exhibition of new work by Linda Karshan. For this third solo show with the gallery, Karshan has created two new bodies of work, both extremely coherent, with more complexity and more division in their forms than in the past. In them, the viewer can share her sense of time and space, and witness the act of creating space by defining the breadth of one’s essence. Linda Karshan’s reputation as a highly original [...]

AMSTERDAM.- A solo exhibition with photographs from the New York- based artist, Maura Sullivan (1971). Sullivan makes short movies in a single photograph. You can search for the meaning, the words, the tension, to try to explain the story. But not searching for a deeper meaning will still leave you with beautiful, well styled, photography. The beauty is in the restraint: the images reveal enough to draw you in and withhold enough to make you curious. Sullivan is intrigued with [...]

Filed under Art Events & Exhibitions

LONDON.- Modern Art presents a solo exhibition of new work by German artist Lothar Hempel, Silberblick/Squint. This is his second solo show with Modern Art. Lothar Hempel’s work inhabits a realm of dreamlike theatricality, full of many coexisting mystic possibilities. Hempel brings together a world of figures, shapes and colours in the stagelike expression of a certain attitude: graceful, cool, deliberate and poised – yet open and heartfelt. Often starting from ‘just so much as a feeling’, he weaves his [...]

Priska C. Juschka Fine Art Opens First Solo Exhibition by Samuel T. Adams

NEW YORK, NY.- Priska C. Juschka introduces Samuel T. Adams with Delphic Affairs, his first solo exhibition at the gallery. An amalgamate of forms and colors, Adams’ luxuriously painted canvases lure their audience into a realm of possibilities as entire compositions turn into visual fragrances — exuding palettes seemingly inconceivable to the unsuspecting eye, and rather to be processed by other senses. Hovering between representation and abstraction, Adams’ paintings capture by way of postponing gratification — like the Delphic Oracle [...]
