Richard Tuttle "Renaissance Unframed"
Carolina Nitsch Project Room
This event has ended.
Carolina Nitsch presents Renaissance Unframed, a series of 25 encaustic drawings on muslin with companion sculpture by Richard Tuttle at her Project Room in Chelsea, New York. The 25 fabric pieces will be rotated every 2 weeks throughout the exhibition period with approximately five works being shown at a time.
This series, created in 1995 and previously unseen in New York, is a complex hybrid of drawing and printing. Tuttle freely applied pigmented encaustic wax through an open silkscreen and onto painter’s muslin then pinned the works loosely on the wall so that they drape and fold engaging a sculptural aspect to the work. A 26th element, a bronze sculpture placed on the floor, always pointing north, completes an alphabetical theme prevalent in the artist’s body of work. With Renaissance Unframed Tuttle brings together different materials, ideas and cultures enmeshing and “unframing” them and presenting something new, hopeful, and optimistic.
