This event has ended.

The gallery is pleased to announce a survey of works by Timothy Linn at Heskin Contemporary in Hell’s Kitchen and at the Heskin project space in SoHo. In the SoHo space, Linn will display large-scale works on paper, wood sculptures, works on canvas and an installation of free standing, large framed two-sided drawings. Heskin Contemporary on 37th Street will be exhibiting works on paper, on cardboard, on wood and canvas and other substrates made of varying surfaces and found materials.

Tim Linn has collected materials over decades from natural and urban environments. Linn has utilized some of these materials in previous works and often recycles them into new pieces. The artist selects these objects, for their tactile and visual qualities, most of them, in one way or another, have an affinity with the limited geometries of primitive and ancient art.

In the essay, for Painterly Geometrics, Robert G. Edelman writes, “The overtly simple composition of his works on paper often conceals the sophistication of Linn's process. Both minimalist and formal, they are nonetheless deeply rooted in experiment and improvisation. In the large two sided gouaches on paper, Linn has fashioned the ultimate enigma; a work of art the requires the viewer to interact with it, only to realize that it can only be fully experienced with our participation, as we interact with it, and the artist, in a visual dance."
