Gregory Johnston "Sarabande"
Stephen Haller Gallery
This event has ended.
Stephen Haller Gallery presents GREGORY JOHNSTON: SARABANDE new paintings of the artist's signature style - suggestions of calligraphic gestures (described by critic George Melrod as "icons of textual beauty") within a canvas divided into formal, almost architectural drawing. These two elements engage in a formal dance of tension and release, a "Sarabande" which also reflects Ingmar Bergman's film title and the dance of relationship between a man and a woman. These paintings represent the maturing work of an artist The Wall Street Journal heralded as one of the emerging success stories of his generation.
