PAUL KOLKER collection

This event has ended.

Paul Kolker presents his sixty-ninth solo exhibition, About Space… Synthèse at the PAUL KOLKER collection at 511 West 25th Street from March 28 through May 31, 2019. Kolker’s exhibition of paintings and photographic prints is about an experiment which questions how we perceive the illusion of three dimensional static space in a two dimensional canvas; while using a sculptural control group of volumetric pyramids of spheres.

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 Space… Synthèse is Kolker’s sixty-ninth solo exhibition.
