New Paintings
Michael Kohn Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work
by New York based artist James Nares. The exhibition is comprised of a
vibrant combination of large-scale horizontal and square linen canvases
and works on paper that range from electric jewel-tones in red, blue, and
green to deep shades of yellow, orange, and brown.
In his new body of work, Nares has continued to hone in on mastering the
balance between spontaneity and control. Using his signature handcrafted
brushes, Nares' also uses a "rig" to assist him with painting
above the canvas, allowing him to capture the intuitive energy and
lyricism of his artistic process in saturated, monochromatic brushstrokes.
Nares' livid and elegant abstractions appear to be simple gestures but
are in fact the end result of a series of mediated and repeated
calligraphic strokes. Nares' weightless actions transform into a
controlled mess consisting of swirls and waves, which seize and elongate
the notion of movement and time.
James Nares has been in solo exhibitions at Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York;
Hamiltons Gallery, London, England; and Galerie Thomas Von Lintel, Munich.
His works have been included in the collections at MoMA, New York;
Whitney Museum of Art, New York; and the Albright Knox Museum, Buffalo,
NY.
Reception for the artist: Friday, July 13, 6 - 8 p.m.
