NYAB Event - Larry Poons “New Paintings”

Larry Poons “New Paintings”

Danese Corey

This event has ended.

In his own inimitable and provocative fashion, Larry Poons offers a persuasive colloquy that maintains an enduring discourse with Abstract Expressionism – America’s first “Periclean” movement of international dominance in the visual arts. His new paintings continue a line of inquiry into the language of sensual, spirited abstraction and “unabated, unapologetic love of the medium.”

“It’s daunting to think of the paintings and painters passing through Larry Poons’s mind these days. They seem to include Poussin, Claude, Cézanne, Renoir, Bonnard, early Picasso and always Pollock. At least those names can come to mind in front of Mr. Poons lush, teeming expanses of short, crazed, curling brush strokes, pastel colors and intimations – but only that – of landscape, bacchanals and Mediterranean sun.”
