Chris Martin in Co(r)respondences at Nara Roesler Gallery

Opening June 13th, Co(r)respondences: Constructive Affinities/Painting as Surface includes work by artist Chris Martin.  Co(r)respondences is curated by  Luis Pérez-Oramas, displaying work by 11 artists. 

 

"Co(r)respondences: Constructive Affinities/Painting as Surface is the second iteration of a curatorial idea driving group shows organized by structural affinities rather than art historical links. In this occasion works by artists represented by Nara Roesler Gallery are installed in dialogue vis-à-vis works by significant international artists, following two complementary aspects: the primacy of constructive-driven compositions, and painting as a singular understanding of surface.

 

Modern painting might have seen the light following the famous assertion by Maurice Denis, at the end of the Nineteenth Century: “It should be remembered that a painting, before being a warhorse, a nude or a story, is essentially a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order.” And yet, for as much that art historians, artists and critics have tried to summarize (modern) art under a unique category, it has not stopped taking endless multiform appearances."
