Paul Winstanley Exhibition
Mitchell-Innes & Nash (534 W 26th St.)
This event has ended.
Mitchell-Innes & Nash presents its first solo exhibition of British painter Paul Winstanley. Winstanley's first New York show in over 10 years.
Winstanley's imagery derives from photographs, usually his own. He engages traditional genres of painting such as the interior, still life, and landscape, filtered through the lens of photography. The result is a photographic image with an unmistakably painterly surface. His paintings often depict repeated variations of the same scene: a landscape glimpsed through a window curtain, a barren, dimly-lit walkway, or the waiting room of an anonymous corporate office. Although these still, depopulated spaces are mundane, Winstanley suffuses them with a mood of melancholy or romance, revealing their psychological underpinnings.
