Скачать или смотреть Jiří Georg Dokoupil New Paintings at PAUL KASMIN GALLERY

As a founding member of the loosely knit group of rebellious artists and painters that emerged from Cologne in the late 1970s called Mülheimer Freiheit, Dokoupil hit the New York art scene and received significant initial recognition. In the twenty years since his last exhibition in the city, he has continued to develop his heterodoxical approach to both painting and its attendant conceptual content. These works represent an investigation into the chemical and physical properties of pigment, emulsions, process and their ability to embody the painters presence. This technique produces images that are at once magical and whimsical, decorative and yet austere, a riff that plays on both a legacy of Dada, and Abstract Expressionism.
