THÉO GOLB | REMAINS, CIRCLE OF TIME

From September 18 to October 5, 2019.

The abstraction of Théo Golb enacts the artist’s aesthetic and philosophical countenance as regards the importance of delineation and perspective in composition as well as empiricism, historicity and theoretical positions on culture.

An individual of erudite and spritual inheritance of several cultures, the painter’s seminal work was strongly influenced by Cubist and Suprematist leitmotif, yet his personal evolution came under a greater attention to linear and planar configuration, resulting in a geomorphic abstraction and metaphysical allusion. In deterrence of art historicism and with a deferential attitude towards the pre-dominant aesthetic concerns of contemporary artistic practice: a practice which he boldly challenges with acuity and a remarkable elocution.

The primacy of the theoretical and unwavering gesture of conceptualism which saturates much of contemporary discourse are countered by Théo Golb’s intricate methodology, an architectural ontological relief and abstract colorist orientation converge to illustrate a poignant rupture with the aforementioned discursive fascination with art historicism and visual contextualization, as the artist sculpts with paint in evocations of classical symbolism or literati inspired extemporal manifestations.

Opening on Saturday September 21, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
