This event has ended.

Paul Kolker presents About Faces, Places, Movers and Shakers at the PAUL KOLKER collection from September 20 through November 10, 2018. Using an algorithm which he calls ‘synthèse,’ Kolker transforms POTUS photographs from the news media and overlays them with the artist’s abstract halftone dot paintings as an experiment in the psychology of perception.

Paul Kolker (b. 1935) is a New York based artist with doctorate degrees in medicine and law. He is Fellow American College of Surgeons, Fellow American College of Legal Medicine and Emeritus Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Northwell Glen Cove Hospital, having practiced cardiothoracic surgery on Long Island from 1969 to 2013. In October 2001 Kolker moved his Long Island studio to his current address in the Chelsea art district so that he could produce his works and curate his exhibitions as an experiment in perception. His studio and gallery have together become his laboratory in which the viewer is the measuring instrument for Kolker’s art as a perceptual experiment. About Faces, Places, Movers and Shakers is Kolker’s sixty-sixth solo exhibition.
