This event has ended.

Throughout his career, Shinn has explored minimal geometric abstraction through a variety of mediums, including works on paper, paintings, projected light on murals, neon and Plexiglas sculptures. His most recent investigations address variations of form through the use of slightly altered light, giving viewers the illusion of subtle movement. Shinn transcends dimensions with premeditated precision creating and invigorating metamorphosis of shape, light and color.

Art critic Saul Ostrow places Shinn’s work within the legacy of experimental Op and abstract art from the 1960s. Through his practice, he has successfully been able to push the boundaries of opticality, relational composition, and illusorily constructed shapes. Shinn reconfigures and re-prioritiezes the same mechanics of geometric abstraction and Op art to intuitively create pieces that reconsider space, logic and perception to create a uniquely visual experience.
