This event has ended.

James Cohan presents The Symmetry of Tears, an exhibition of work by Eamon Ore-Giron. In this exhibition, the artist presents new paintings from his ongoing Infinite Regress series, in which geometric shapes shift in and out of graphic fields of gold. Each painting in this sequential series is a variation on the one that came before, suggesting a trajectory of future iterations.

The composite forms in Ore-Giron’s paintings recall religious iconography, sacred landscapes, and celestial bodies subject to cyclical passages of time. Inserting pictorial and rhythmic structures from the Global South into an expanded history of transnational abstraction, Ore-Giron’s works embody what curator Marcela Guerrero refers to as “the sound and color of mestizo synesthesia.”
