NYAB Event - Douglas Kolk Exhibition

This event has ended.
At Fredericks & Freiser Gallery
Media: Drawing, Sculpture

Known for his channel-surfing aesthetic, Kolk splices together familiar imagery and furious gesture to create large-scale collage and deviant sculpture. Whereas his early line drawings depict a stark and fragile youth culture, his recent work illustrates a manic utterance of contemporary life. This will be the artist’s second solo exhibition at Fredericks & Freiser.

Kolk vehemently portrays his world with fluctuating notions of the self. Edged with an almost child-like imagination, he identifies his fragmented musings with an amalgamation of images. Combining media clippings, delicate drawing and untamed abstraction, Kolk delineates this intrinsic language. Whether he depicts the introduction of a man and a woman scrawled across pages of newspaper circulars or myriad impressions of rural life as experienced from a speeding car, Kolk takes gentle ideas and electrifies them.
