This event has ended.
A new exhibition of work by Elliott Puckette (b. 1967) opens at Kasmin. For the first time, this exhibition presents the artist’s sculpture alongside several new large-scale paintings and a suite of works on paper, inviting further immersion into the language, form, and logic of the line.
Puckette’s lines meander their terrain with no premeditated structure, recalling the tenets of Tachisme, the intuitive form of expression favored by European painters in the 1940s and 50s. At the artist’s Brooklyn studio, photocopied works spanning the annals of art history are arranged on one wall; an esoteric puzzle of visual references. While the artist is typically reticent to explicate her works, the blooming skies of John Constable and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo nod to a Romantic or sublime sensibility that is integral to Puckette’s own work. Elsewhere, etchings by Albrecht Dürer allude to the virtues of addition by means of subtraction mirrored in her practice.
