Garis & Hahn is pleased to announce Intoxicating Pollen Wiggling in a Moist Journey of Constantly Blooming Tides, an exhibition of new works on canvas from the New York based painter and illustrator Mike Perry. Encompassing a series of kaleidoscopic abstractions and ebullient distillations of the pop and surrealist canon, the show represents a significant evolution in the artist鈥檚 practice. Garis & Hahn, located at 263 Bowery, will host an opening reception on Friday, April 22, 2016 from 6-8PM.
The large-scale paintings embody all the signature elements of Perry鈥檚 work鈥攗nnaturalistic colors, intricately distorted compositions, and a hand-drawn aesthetic鈥攚hile also exhibiting many of the preoccupations with form shared by the Fauvists and German Expressionists; visible layers of impasto emphasize the two-dimensionality of the canvas, suggesting Matisse鈥檚 Dancers and Blue Nude cut-outs.
