Matthew Marks announces Terry Winters, the most recent exhibition in his gallery at 522 West 22nd Street.
The exhibition’s sixteen chromatically rich paintings have been built up with layers of marks in oil, resin, and wax. Their imagery derives from diverse sources, among them botany, geology, and chemistry, as indicated by their titles, which include Shell, Cluster, and Dioxazine Shift. Each finished painting, however, is an abstract composition with its own internal dynamics, emerging through a process that resembles evolution and other unpredictable natural phenomena.
Terry Winters (born 1949) lives and works in New York City and Columbia County, NY. His one-person museum exhibitions include the Tate Gallery, London (1986); the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1991); the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1992); the Whitechapel Gallery, London (1998); Kunsthalle Basel (2000); the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2001); the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2009); and, this year, the Kunsthaus Graz, Austria, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
