NEW YORK, NY.- Sean Kelly announced its inaugural presentation at the Aspen Art Fair. The tightly curated presentation, featuring painting, sculpture, and photography, highlights the latest developments in several of the gallery artists practices.
Following her highly acclaimed exhibitions at the Hill Art Foundation and Sean Kelly, New York, Sean Kelly premiere a new stone painting by Sam Moyer which merges her unique sculptural and painterly processes through an inventive use of reclaimed materials. Also interested in the use of unconventional, salvaged materials is Hugo McCloud, who will present his latest oil paint and single use plastic works depicting meditative, floral still-lifes. Ana González, whose works probe the disappearance of natural landscapes including the Amazon Rainforest, will present a work from her lauded Devastations series. Gonzálezs photograph printed on fabric is partially unraveled by hand, a metaphor for the destruction of her native land.
Similarly inspired by landscape and early photography is Wu Chi-Tsung, who will present a recent example from his iconic Cyano-collage series. Merging collage with the laborious cyanotype process, Chi-Tsung creates seamless vistas, resembling mountainous landscapes. The image of the mountain also occurs in Jose Dávilas Untitled (cowboy) photograph. One of several images in a body of work referencing Richard Princes Cowboys series, Dávila removes the focal point of the image, transforming the scene into a poetic discourse about the power of negative space.
Kehinde Wiley will present a new intimately scaled portrait that continues his profound exploration of global Black identity, representation, and power, offering a deeply personal counterpoint to his monumental public works.
The presentation also highlights recent developments in abstraction. A new painting by Janaina Tschäpe exemplifies the fluid gestures and interplay of vibrant yet serene hues which define her contemplative works. Brian Rocheforts sculpture reveals an analogous exploration of color and gesture, as he combines a variety of textures, surfaces and colors to create rich, otherworldly forms inspired by his travels. Also on the booth is a new work on paper by Zipora Fried, which exemplifies her mastery of mark-making, and controlled, exploratory use of colored pencil to create striking layers of line and color.
Together, this presentation reflects Sean Kellys multidisciplinary, conceptually rigorous program of artists, whose varied works probe the complexity of the natural world.
