Reception Tonight, Mar 16, 6-8p:
DAVID LYNCH
Tilton Gallery, 6 East 76th St., NYC (bt Madison & 5th Ave)
David Lynch’s first solo exhibition in New York since 1989. Lynch will attend tonight’s reception.
Lynch works across many different media to create paintings, sculpture, works on paper and photographs. Recent paintings combine primitively drawn figures and text with thick textured areas of paint and, often, inserted lit colored light bulbs. Framed in thick gold frames under glass (inspired by Francis Bacon’s frames), they become box-like, objects in their own right. Narrative subjects exhibit Lynch’s trademark whimsy, wit and humor along with his recognizable penchant for the ambiguous, yet precisely depicted, frozen moment that unveils an instinctual, often violent or tragic human emotion, almost verging on the absurd. - thru Apr 14
I really enjoy the first one (‘Light/Fire/Boy’). A triptych showing the “strike,” the “burning match,” and the boy in amazement of it all. I like to think that the boy is Lynch creating art after he discovered that he could actually make a living out of it (he repeatedly mentions in interviews how amazed he was when he learned as a teen that his friend’s father’s profession was painter).
