This event has ended.
Freight+Volume presents James Hyde’s West.
West is the artist’s first solo show in New York City since 2010. Fusing landscape photography with painted shapes and abstract forms, Hyde explores themes of visual perception and reproduction, all the while challenging the boundaries of painting as a medium. He is attuned to the gulf between artistic intention and the viewer’s own comprehension, and he transforms this chasm into a discourse of sorts, using it as a source of creative energy. The works on display in West draw from a juxtaposition of abstract painting and landscape photography, a pairing that proves to be simultaneously idiosyncratic and highly intuitive.
