Paul 骋补谤诲猫谤别: Second Nature
Magenta Plains is pleased to present Paul 骋补谤诲猫谤别: Second Nature, a solo exhibition of rarely exhibited mixed media paintings from 1994-2000 by Haitian born, American artist Paul 骋补谤诲猫谤别. Combining acrylic painting, relief sculpture, photography, found object assemblage, mud, and collage, these works encapsulate a pivotal moment in the life and practice of 骋补谤诲猫谤别. This period saw his lifelong inquiries into social, economic, and racial dynamics of power and identity crystallize into a singular vision. Born in 1944, the artist鈥檚 work sits at the intersection of critical strands of 20th century art history: the visual and cultural legacy of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora in the Americas, the legacies of Impressionism and Early Modernism in the former French colonies of the Caribbean, and the interweaving of these themes with the dynamism of mid-century painting in New York. This focused exhibition comes on the heels of a critical survey recently held at the Stuyvesant Fish House at The Cooper Union, the artist鈥檚 alma mater, in New York.
