Brendan Cass "New Nature"
Stellan Holm Gallery
This event has ended.
New Nature is Brendan Cass's first exhibition at Stellan Holm Gallery. The exhibition features a selection of optimistic new large-scale multi-colored landscape paintings. Copious layers of pigmentation explode into abstract swirls, blobs of paint, drips, and broad brushstrokes, revealing a lone house, a forest with gushing rivers, or sparkling hills that merge into small villages. Mirroring geological phenomenon with a kaleidoscopic turn, Cass transforms elements of the picturesque into energetic planes of raw color. He creates a cosmos infused with neon color pulsating with both the harmony and chaos of an ever-shifting ecology. Spanning the compositional formalism of the Hudson River School painters to a reverance for nature akin to Joseph Beuys', Cass navigates a new nature uniquely his own.
