Philip Taaffe’s ethereal paintings synthesize universal dichotomies of beauty and destruction. Much like an alchemist, he conjures intricately layered forms with the use of complex techniques such as silkscreening, staining, and marbling that incorporate a wide range of carefully researched references with an encyclopedic range. The result of his complex process is a group of seemingly glowing paintings waiting to be decoded. The exhibition is on view through April 26th.
