Warren Isensee

Audiello Fine Art, New York

Audiello Fine Art, Inc. is pleased to announce an exhibition of painting by Warren Isensee.

Warren Isensee has been part of the New York abstract scene for the past decade and his elaborate research has brought him to a very substantial and sophisticated contribution.

Isensee has created his own game of combinations and possibilities by playing with modular ideas that refer to the organic world, comic books and a kind of psychedelia derived from 1960's popular design. With patterns and colors like the Op inspired kitchens from his childhood, he conjures memories of bold print curtains, shiny Formica countertops and multicolored housecoats of the American Housewife with new potential.

Raised during the fifties as an "All-American" boy, he has being looking in the memories of his teenage years, in the American dream and into the explosive sixties for a sense of well being, travel and discoveries.

The result is a well-defined controlled abstraction that keeps alive a certain sense of wonder and positivety, but like in any good psychedelic trip the edge between beauty and horror, between order and insanity is very thin. This duality appears to us through what seems to be very balanced compositions where different kinds of accumulations or structures give the illusion of a very precise project, the powerful opticality and the color vibrancy instead seem to work toward some kind of explosive playful frenzy. It seems that this very energy stands as an almost mystical reason behind the need to make his next painting.

The show will open on Friday, February 2,2001 and will run through March 10,2001. This will be his first exhibition with Audiello Fine Art, Inc.
