NYAB Event - Wendell Gladstone "Cave to the Grave"

Wendell Gladstone "Cave to the Grave"

Kravets/Wehby Gallery

This event has ended.

The Kravets/Wehby Gallery presents "Cave to the Grave" a solo exhibition of new paintings by Wendell Gladstone.
In Cave to the Grave, Wendell Gladstone debuts a new series of paintings that depict the life of a man from his youth through his death. Referencing the allegory of Plato’s cave, the story begins with a boy immersed in darkness and continues to trace the boys’ life after he emerges from behind the curtain. Gladstone uses a collage sensibility by mining ideas and images to create his own fabricated myths. His paint handling is also diverse, a wide range of techniques are employed from very thick geometric hard edge areas, to subtle mists of airbrush, to organic veils of transparent stained color.

Wendell Gladstone is a painter based in Los Angeles, California. A catalog was recently published of Gladstone’s work by Zero+ Publishing called D.O.A., S.O.S., ETC.
