In his fifth solo exhibition with Paula Cooper, Kelley Walker presents twelve new brick paintings from 2013-2014, each signifying a month from 2012. Begun in 2005, these newest works offer a new complexity to Walker’s ongoing series of brick paintings, as he develops dialogues through collaged elements from issues of Domus (a monthly architectural magazine), silkscreened images, and bursts of vibrant color. Each of the twelve paintings vacillate between trompe l’oeil technique and the inherent flatness of the canvas, an effect heightened by Walker’s diverse use of materials. The exhibition is on view through April 18th.
