ROB PRUITT – PANDA-MONIUM IN BEIJING

Posted on 2022-11-07

Pruitt’s vocabulary is straightforward, minimalist, and above all, highly relatable. Drawing on everyday iconography with the frankness of youth, he confronts the viewer with the paradox of modern-day existence: one where the line between hope and dystopia is harder and harder to grasp.
The presentation at the Beijing space brings together Pruitt’s well known Panda paintings along with his paintings of faces.

Exhibition runs through to November 20th, 2022

ENIVREZ-VOUS (GET DRUNK)

Posted on 2022-11-07

Praz-Delavallade is pleased to present Enivrez-vous (Get Drunk) a group show opening in Paris. Ever since antiquity, inebriation has been presented as a way of opening the doors to creativity, a means that is deeply connected to poetry, both by its origin, inspirational value and its subversive and exhilarating aspects. After all, is it not fêted for giving rise to sharing and festivity by worshipers of the Greek god Dionysus and his Roman counterpart Bacchus, the god of wine who is the living embodiment of this tribute to the values of drunkenness that paves the way to other excesses, madness, theatricality and tragedy. Poets lay claim to inebriation, asserting it as their way of accessing the inspirational divine voice and describing the latter’s light, euphoric and ephemeral condition.

Exhibition runs through to January 7th, 2023

MICHAEL JOSEPH – LOST AND FOUND

Posted on 2022-11-07

Lost and Found is a portrait series featuring youth who travel around the U.S. by hitchhiking and freight train hopping. They often go unseen and are their appearances can be misconstrued. Joseph sees them as being on a personal journey driven by wanderlust and escapism. Each traveler’s story is different, but they are bound by a sense of community and as they search for transient jobs they also discover a new family in their traveling friends. The images are photographed on public streets using natural light.

Opposite – Brillo The Clown, Brooklyn, NY, 2017

DANIEL RICHTER – FUROR II

Posted on 2022-11-07

Furor II continues Richter’s exploration into this iterative process. Here, a postcard from 1916 depicting two wounded WWI soldiers serves as one in a limited set of germinal reference images for these paintings. The postcard, once produced for mass commercial distribution and consumption, becomes the departure point from which Richter considers the atrophying effects of repetition on meaning, context, and feeling. Through such repetition, Richter transforms his source images into complex, paradoxically joyful compositions that oscillate between abstraction and figuration. Human figures metamorphose into forms resembling steam shovels, distended teardrops, shattered ribcages, even butterflies. Sharp lines jut across patchy color-blocked backgrounds, hinting at competing horizons, while the outlines of witnesses and onlookers take shape in the foreground. Unsettling yet ultimately playful, Richter’s newest paintings address social, political, and historical issues, while the frenetic furor of his process results in open-ended compositions that defy categorization.
