Iran do Espírito Santo "Deposition" Exhibition
Sean Kelly Gallery
This event has ended.
The exhibition is comprised of two distinct bodies of work. In the main gallery there will be a site-specific wall painting titled En Passant. Since the late 1980s, Espírito Santo has been making site-specific interventions in architectural space utilizing representations of materials such as glass, wood and brick. With En Passant, the artist focuses on simulated modulations of light on walls, depicted in various gradations of the color gray. Applying extraordinary technical and formal rigor, the artist creates an environment that appears to allude to a dark room photographic test strip, on a monumental architectural scale. The wall painting becomes an almost mathematical depiction of a gray scale that amalgamates natural light and a representation of pictorial light, creating a complex conceptual interplay between the two.
