Ken Weathersby is an artist I wrote about
last year because I was really drawn to the intellectual nature of his work in which he plays with our expectations of painting as an object of pleasure. It's a dialogue between painter, materials and surface that he engages with; his 'constructions' are visual conundrums that play with the viewers notion of what painting is and what might lie behind or underneath the surface. But, as I said in my post last year, there really is so much more to explore and I urge readers to visit his
blog - including a great list of links - for a very interesting read. Ken has been showing regularly however his first solo in NY opened recently at
Pierogi Gallery. So a big congratulations, Ken!

ReplyDeleteVincent, an absence of comments on blog posts doesn't mean much these days. I was at the opening of this show, in NY, and it was jam-packed with people who by all indications enjoyed the work very much.
ReplyDeletei am very much heartened by that fact ! and Thank you for alerting me to it. Did you enjoy the work very much?
ReplyDeleteYes, I did.
