SUMMARY:Purple Prose: Queer Illiteralism & A Flowering  Cacophony
DESCRIPTION:Stone the crows by all means\, but let the birds of paradise get on \nwith the business of being gorgeous. \n– Paul West\, “In Defense of Purple Prose” \nMarianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Purple Prose: Queer Illiteralism & a Flowering Cacophony\, a summer group exhibition featuring works by Felix Beaudry\, John Burtle\, David Gilbert\, Borna Sammak\, Marisa Takal\, and Michaela Yearwood-Dan. Taking its title from the literary term for an overly embellished writing style\, Purple Prose is a queer celebration of the fanciful\, the excessive\, the transgressive. Organized by Kory Trolio\, the exhibition embraces the artist’s rambling plight and the tortuous journey of queer being\, foregrounding playful narratives of evolving selves. \nBeaudry\, Burtle\, Gilbert\, Sammak\, Takal\, and Yearwood-Dan rely on their idiosyncrasies\, sensibilities\, and extravagances\, all “over-responding” and “intolerably vivid”—to borrow a pair of phrases from “In Defense of Purple Prose\,” Paul West’s influential 1985 essay advocating for flowery language in literature. These purplists—as West refers to architects of excess—are fantasists scrawling in the margins\, an inherently queer place to inhabit. Their works are a mouthful\, an eyeful\, a campy cacophony; they overwhelm the senses\, calling attention to themselves\, to their flagrant refusal to conform\, to minimize\, to present a clear narrative. These meandering daydreams tussle with an art world whose oppressive demands of branded authorship and “simplistic formulas” (again\, West) sideline the messiness and multiplicity inherent to contemporary life. Rejecting these demands\, this demiurgic group booms with voices flowing between dissonance and harmony rather than superficial style. \nFelix Beaudry (b. 1996; Berkeley\, CA) places two oversized\, loosely stuffed humanoid bodies on a tacky floral sofa straight out of a 1970s midwestern living room. These gargantuan bodies completely overwhelm the couch\, their flaccid limbs spilling unashamedly onto the surrounding floor. Unsettling in both scale and visage\, Beaudry’s figures are excess embodied\, sinew and viscera adorned in machine-woven skin bags\, liberated from the constraints of the normative by embracing\, by indulging\, by celebrating their own monstrous mutability. \nJohn Burtle (b. 1985; Long Beach\, CA) draws with rubber stamps collected from second-hand stores and eBay\, composing\, piece by piece\, a cartoon simulacra inked in PAID-stamp red. Burtle’s gesture is relentless in its repetition—the stamps are necessarily limited in number\, yet\, the combinations they produce are endless\, inexhaustible\, serendipitous. Burtle’s purplist prowess lives in the depths of this accumulation\, of the artist’s imagination\, of their affinity for excess. \nDavid Gilbert (b. 1982; New York\, NY) compiles the unassuming debris and detritus of quotidian life— ribbons\, rope\, string\, scraps of paper\, a lone glove\, a strand of silk ivy—into insouciant\, yet decadent\, compositions. After memorializing these theatrical sculptural forms in photography\, Gilbert strikes the set\, only to begin again with the same gusto and wonder—and often the same material. The resulting works are both intimate and monumental\, contained by the frame of the camera yet reveling in their own dishevelment\, their own illiteralness\, their own material indecision. Captured with exuberance and pride\, Gilbert’s photographs record the perpetual process of creation\, a process that\, to again quote West\, “ponders things in detail\, takes its time and habitually masticates its object until a wonder leaps forth.” \nBorna Sammak (b. 1986; Philadelphia\, PA) embroiders cut patches of brightly colored beach towels onto canvas\, transforming this garish pop fodder into a collage of verdant foliage that spills out of an embroidered trompe l’oeil martini glass. Splashed against a velvety black background\, the image Sammak produces is pure kitsch\, reminiscent of hazy memories of liquid feasts\, of basements and back rooms\, of curiosities consumed and satisfied. \nMarisa Takal’s (b. 1991\, Montclair; New Jersey) practice is an intrepid foray into the multitudinous nature of being. Her canvas Unborn Star attempts to contain these multitudes; her decorated tea boxes release them. Takal’s collaged boxes are unfolding\, introspective narratives that viewers can touch\, experiencing the ripeness of their potential. With these autobiographies of the everyday\, Takal relates and reassures—offering a smiling mirror\, a generous\, familiar connection shared between author and reader. \nMichaela Yearwood-Dan’s (b. 1994; London\, UK) lush paintings are unapologetic in their coquettishness and abstract sensuality. Her colors and gestures are unruly\, free\, instinctual. Within her fertile compositions\, Yearwood-Dan embeds pieces of language—song lyrics\, poetry\, personal meditations—at varying levels of legibility\, allowing her paintings to bluster with a voice unlocked straight from the diary. But there is no storm in these w rks\, just the losing of oneself in the luxuriousness and joy of paint\, indulging in love and self-fulfillment. \nPurple Prose is a delectable\, chaotic\, anarchist\, baroque\, subversive\, queer world; it’s an exultant and gilded tangle edging\, refusing to finish\, to be definitive. These works—these artists—are in the process of endlessly proliferating\, creating\, becoming; they reveal multi-faceted tensions of dreamer artists navigating the internal self and the external world through reverie\, through unexpected materiality\, through new combinations of color and sense and language. \n… indulge yourself. What’s a self for\, anyway?

SUMMARY:Martyn Cross | Roarings Further Out
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Boesky Gallery presents Roarings Further Out\, the first New York solo exhibition of the Bristol\, United Kingdom–based artist Martyn Cross. Executed at a small scale\, the all-new works on view unfurl into luminous\, uncanny landscapes informed by Cross’s fascination with medieval imagery and the speculative literary genre known as weird fiction. The exhibition takes its title from a series of four novellas by Algernon Blackwood\, one of weird fiction’s most prolific authors\, and touches on the genre’s themes\, including otherworldly environments and alternative human experiences.

SUMMARY:Chidinma Nnoli | When will my feet catch fire?
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present When will my feet catch fire?\, a solo presentation of five new paintings and a sculptural work by Lagos\, Nigeria-based artist Chidinma Nnoli. The works on view explore various modes of processing trauma and healing\, and delve into the ways in which stigma\, dissociation\, and dominant societal narratives limit  discourses around traumatic events. For Nnoli\, the works pose the question: “When will the things I am going through be ‘big’ enough for me to speak about?”

SUMMARY:Gina Beavers | Pastel Looks
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Pastel Looks\, an exhibition of new works on paper by Gina Beavers. \n  \nWith these works\, Beavers continues her examination of the performative nature and myopic self-obsession of social media\, particularly within the phenomenon of makeup tutorials. Beavers sources imagery and inspiration from Instagram\, YouTube\, and other online sources for her drawings\, mimicking stills from make-up tutorials as well as images that reference “food porn” photography and the proliferation of consumer culture. The use of pastels references both a commonly recognized tool in Western artmaking and an online genre of makeup techniques called “pastel looks;” thus the title of the show acts as a double entendre that both indicates and enacts the collapse of language into meme-ready sound bites. \n  \nWhile Beavers has begun to re-engage with pastels as a medium in recent years\, drawing has always been fundamental to her practice\, as its immediacy parallels the rapid-fire rush of content on social media. Although her works on paper are inspired by various art historical sources––from Degas’s pastels to Wayne Thiebaud’s illustrative renderings of quotidian objects––they retain formal elements reminiscent of Beavers’s own high-relief acrylic paintings. As in her painting practice\, the artist employs a process of layering\, rubbing away\, building up\, and shading to create illusionistic depictions of the source photograph or video still. Paralleling some of the repetitions found within her work\, Beavers presents multiple variations of the same source material in Pastel Looks\, which\, ambiguously\, can either stand alone as individual works\, or form a serial grid with adjacent works. \n  \nWith Pastel Looks\, Beavers joins process\, form\, and content into an evocative and uncanny reflection of the endlessly self-referential nature of the online word. “How can a painting (or a drawing) as a body represent the aspirations\, the frailties\, the pompousness\, and the anxieties of our online selves\,” said Beavers.

SUMMARY:Maud Madsen | Daisy Chain
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Daisy Chain\, a solo presentation of paintings by Maud Madsen. In a new group of large-scale paintings\, Madsen expands on her exploration of our emotional connections to a specific time and place and the sanitization of memory. Through her portrayals of the female body\, the artist sheds light on topics that are at times uncomfortable to leave room for an unvarnished and more complex truth.  Daisy Chain is on view May 3 through May 28\, 2022 at the gallery’s space at 509 W 24th Street. This exhibition follows the artist’s inclusion in the gallery’s group show In Situ in 2021. \n  \nThe works that compose Daisy Chain place Madsen’s subjects in an array of environments—often recalling locations specific to the artist’s upbringing—but maintain the figure as the central focus. Caught between adulthood and childhood\, the characters in Madsen’s work examine the insecurities of adolescence\, including the artist’s hyper awareness of her own body as a young woman. Madsen displays her figures from unique and unusual vantage points\, shown crouched on the ground or seen from below\, to effectively put the body and its imperfections on full display in the canvas. \n  \nTo craft the framework of her paintings\, Madsen draws from the feeling of a particular experience and the imagery of her youth to transplant her characters into re-envisioned\, invented memories. The artist depicts moments such as scooping dirt in a sandbox with a plastic bucket or sleeping in the sticky summer humidity to recall familiar experiences of childhood. Madsen’s use of saturated tones transports her characters into serene\, almost dream-like spaces. To construct her scenes\, the artist will go so far as to recreate miniature models such as of a childhood swing set to better capture the imagery and feeling of the space. \n  \nWhile the paintings’ surroundings recall feelings of child-like exploration\, the bodies of women characters are mature and grounded to further map the often-awkward transitions of adolescence. The obscured faces in each painting leave space for ambiguity: subjects are seemingly unaware of the viewer and the onlooker is left room to see themselves in the figure. Madsen focuses on the female body to rewrite the memories of her past and give the women in her images room to be on display. Although beginning from a personal place\, the artist constructs spaces in which insecurity\, empowerment\, and the tension of the real and imagined can coalesce to allow for collective reflection. \n  \nAbout Maud Madsen \nMaud Madsen (b. 1993\,  Edmonton\, Alberta\, Canada) currently lives and works in Brooklyn\, NY. Her work has recently been exhibited at Half Gallery\, Los Angeles; 1969 Gallery\, NY; The Green Family Art Foundation\, Dallas and New York Academy of Art\, NY. Madsen received her BFA from the University of Alberta and MFA from the New York Academy of Art. She has been a recipient of the Chubbs Post-Graduate Fellowship at the New York Academy of Art and Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant.

SUMMARY:Pier Paolo Calzolari | Painting as a Butterfly
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Painting as a Butterfly\, Pier Paolo Calzolari’s (b. 1943) fourth solo exhibition with the gallery\, on view March 18 – April 23\, 2022\,and spanning both spaces. This marks Calzolari’s first solo show in the United States since 2017 and will feature more than 30 paintings made over the past four years. Many of these new works were created in isolation and delicately channel a collective longing for human connection. New paintings depicting a howling wolf\, flowing rivers\, and suspended shoes dancing in space are included alongside works from a new series of paintings entitled “Shop Signs” (2019-ongoing). These smaller scaled paintings are inspired by the absence of daily rituals. Hung salon-style\, they reimagine the pleasure of a stroll past a flower shop\, a hatter\, or a shoemaker in the artist’s native Marche Valley village in Italy. The gallery is also pleased to present this new body of work in dialogue with two monumental historical paintings by Calzolari shown for the first time in the United States. \nBorn in Bologna\, Italy\, and currently living and working in Lisbon\, Portugal\, Calzolari is recognized as one of the pioneering figures in the late 1960s Arte Povera movement\, and he continues to be one of the most important contemporary Italian artists working today. Painting as a Butterfly follows his first major survey of paintings at the Madre Museum in Naples\, Italy in 2019. \nThe artist has said that “painting should be about getting lost finding oneself or finding oneself getting lost. But for me painting has always been\, above all\, a lover: I have a bond with it that comes from a fascination of the senses and\, at the same time\, the loss of the senses. Painting is the gesture that comes before the decision\, the insecurity brought to economy.” \nPainting as a Butterflyis a continuation of Calzolari’s decades-long poetic fascination with the alchemical. He is seen here growing more transfixed with the narratives embodied by the elements of the natural world; flowers\, rain\, and celestial bodies are both material and content\, like words forming a haiku. While the artist continues to incorporate sculptural elements made of organic matter such as salt\, feathers\, clover petals\, and seashells\, it is his striking new use of raw pigment powders and tempera in startlingly saturated colors that imbue these new paintings with an exuberance both radiant and sensorial. The luminous canvases include fields of intense primary yellows\, reds\, blues\, and whites with varying surfaces and textures that call to mind nature in the form of sunlight\, fire\, and a night sky\, making this exhibition a meditation on the transience and delicate beauty of everyday life. \n“Calzolari’s paintings are performative and poetic\,” said gallery founder Marianne Boesky. “This show is the result of Pier Paolo’s tremendous output over the last few years during isolation imposed by Covid-19. In these new works\, the artist is returning to raw pigments in vibrant reds\, blues\, and yellows with an unexpected exuberance after several decades. This exhibition reflects a kind of laser focused energy that might only have been possible in quarantine.” \nAbout Pier Paolo Calzolari \nCalzolari’s first exhibition at Marianne Boesky Gallery\, in 2012\, was the artist’s first in the United States in over 20 years. Calzolari’s works are included the Centre Pompidou\, Paris; Museum of Modern Art\, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art Australia\, Sydney; Art Institute of Chicago; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; Sammlung Goetz\, Munich; Centre Pompidou\, Paris; and Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana\, François Pinault Collection\, Venice; among many others. He has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art\, New York (1985\, 2013); Documenta IX\, Kassel (1992); the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume\, Paris (1994); the Venice Biennale (1978\, 2007); Ca’ Pesaro\, Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna\, Venice (2011); the Peggy Guggenheim Collection\, Venice (2011); and the Centre Pompidou\, Paris (2016). The artist currently lives and works in Lisbon\, Portugal.

SUMMARY:Michaela Yearwood-Dan | Be Gentle With Me
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Be Gentle With Me\, a presentation of new paintings by Michaela Yearwood-Dan at the gallery’s 509 West 24th Street location. Be Gentle With Me is the artist’s first solo presentation with the gallery and is on view from September 9 to October 23\, 2021. \nYearwood-Dan’s new paintings emerge from her deeply personal reflections on the past two years\, notably including the Black Lives Matter movement\, the global pandemic\, and queer liberation. In Be Gentle With Me\, she explores the possibilities of creating space and spaces—physical\, pastoral\, metaphorical and even chimeric vis-a-vis her social and political positions as a queer Black feminist woman. Across a series of works\, the artist presents lush\, abstract\, non-realistic habitats teeming with a panoply of botanical motifs and forms. She also inscribes writing onto the canvas\, frequently comprised of her own poetry and epigrams as well as lyrical and comedic references and questions about her own artmaking\, contemporary culture\, and demotic language that all appear with varying degrees of focus and legibility. Her words beckon the viewer into a vivid\, invitational world of paradox\, play\, and contemplation formed from a palette of Battenberg pinks and yellow and rondos of dripping blues\, blanket teals\, wet blacks\, and vivid greens—all operating according to an indeterminable yet otherworldly logic. \nIn previous ‘episodes’ of her work\, Yearwood-Dan has explored the diaristic introversions of personal vulnerability\, drawing heavily on the vicissitudes of her own romantic life to present disquisitions on nostalgia and disillusionment. In her latest body of work\, the artist paints instead from a point of communal vulnerability to offer an idealized description and place for her and people like her. In effect\, these paintings evoke the idealized locus amoenus and present a sort of sanctuary from the staccato demands of a fraught civilization and its social and economic disorder. With grace and inventive vitality\, Yearwood-Dan explores the liminal significance and escapist provision of her soft\, ethereal\, dream-like spaces in an epoch of urgent crisis and oppositional change. Ultimately\, Be Gentle With Me is a message for and of community. \nMichaela Yearwood-Dan’s work reflects on subjectivity and individual identity as forms of self-determination. Whilst her work may be underpinned by an expansive and multivalent repertoire of cultural signifiers borrowing freely from Blackness\, healing rituals\, flora\, texting\, acrylic-nails\, gold-hoops\, carnival culture\, they enable her to present and privilege the variance of her own individual experience. She defamiliarizes many of these reference points in her paintings resisting the clichés and strictures of representation. \nMichaela Yearwood-Dan lives and works in London. Recent exhibitions include In Situ\, Marianne Boesky Gallery\, New York\, US (group – 2021); Ancient Deities\, Arusha Gallery\, Edinburgh\, Scotland\, UK (group – 2020); Clay TM\, TJ Boulting\, London\, UK (group – 2020); The Green Fuse\, Frestonian Gallery\, London\, UK (group -2020); No Time Like the Present\, Public Gallery\, London\, UK\, (group – 2020); Begin Again\, Guts Gallery\, London\, UK\, (group – 2020); After Euphoria\, Tiwani Contemporary\, London\, UK (solo – 2019); One English Pound\, Sarabande\, The Lee Alexander McQueen Foundation\, London\, UK (solo – 2019).

SUMMARY:Donald Moffett | The Hollow
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present The Hollow\, a solo exhibition of new works by Donald Moffett. The exhibition marks his ninth solo show with the gallery and will be on view November 27\, 2020 – January 18\, 2021 at the gallery’s space in Aspen\, Colorado. \nThe Hollow continues the artist’s interest in minimalist\, abstract forms that simultaneously carry personal and metaphorical meaning. As art historian Kate Nesin recently wrote\, “Moffett tends to work in series\, and often in rhythmic alternation\, oscillating not only between formal positions but also between conceptual modes\, micro- and macro- points of view—considerations of the particular body…and of the body politic.” 1 The works on view in the exhibition include a grouping of Moffett’s extruded and resin techniques from the glory hole series. In his extruded paintings\, the artist methodically extends individual tendrils of oil paint to stand perpendicular to the canvas\, creating a bristling three-dimensional surface. In contrast\, Moffett’s resin works on view achieve a luminous appearance by pouring pigmented resin on the painting’s surface. The structural planes of these works are disrupted with circular and organically shaped cutouts that the artist drills through the paintings. The resulting works\, through the thick application of paint and resin\, border between painting and three-dimensional object. \nMoffett subverts traditional notions of painting and abstraction\, employing innovative technique and methodology to disrupt the surface in his process of extruding paint\, resin-pouring\, and routing his monochromatic works. Throughout Moffett’s practice\, this diversity and complication of technique presents itself in numerous forms\, including works that feature projected light or film on canvas\, or the hand-sewn holes and zippers seen in his Fleisch works. The line\, however\, between figuration and abstraction is further blurred in the glory hole works by way of the artist’s likening of the canvas to the body and nature and sex. The subtle coding of the painting’s orifice-like holes and lush textures splits across multiple concerns: formal\, metaphorical\, structural. \nDonald Moffett notes: “I regard this fact: the size and shape of a hollow depends on the age of the tree.”

SUMMARY:Frank Stella: Recent Work
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of recent sculptures by renowned artist Frank Stella. Ranging from the monumental to the intimately-scaled\, the featured sculptures capture Stella’s ongoing exploration of the spatial relationships between abstract and geometric forms and the ways in which they behave in and engage with physical space. In these newest works\, Stella combines interlocking grids with more fluid and organic lines\, creating a dynamic interplay between minimalist and gestural visual vocabularies. Frank Stella: Recent Work will be on view from April 25 through June 22 across both of the gallery’s Chelsea locations at 509 and 507 W. 24th Street.
