Ashely Bickerton “Seascapes at the End of History”

Lehmann Maupin (501 W 24th Street)

This event has ended.

Curated by Ellie Rines

Ashley Bickerton’s fifth solo exhibition at the gallery presents the artist’s bold reappraisal of the seascape genre. Central to the exhibition are new works from his Ocean Chunk series: resin and fiberglass sculptures that appear as three-dimensional slabs of undulating ocean water. The series extends Bickerton’s career-spanning interest in the hybridization of mediums, as well as his efforts to formally overhaul art historical genres.

New Vector and Floater works will also be shown, representing a return to the industrial trappings of Bickerton’s creative output during the 1980s and early 1990s, and conveying the artist’s stark and darkly poetic worldview.
