NEIL WINOKUR – PRODUCE
2021-08-30Winokur, who is known for his deadpan studies of objects, humans, and dogs, has turned his attention to fruits and vegetables. Begun during quarantine, these are luscious portraits of humble forms. Although free of irony, the images evince a playfulness as well. They are seductive without being sentimental, illustrative not metaphorical.
Each print bursts with hyper-saturated color. Fennel fronds are gently articulated against an acid-yellow background; a simple garlic clove discloses a variety of purple shades. While the objects chosen are of an elementary nature, their visual impact is complex. Winokur’s signature style of isolating objects against vibrant colors, elevates these mundane items to celebrity status.
Exhibition runs through to October 20th, 2021
