For his first exhibition in New York, Matt Kenny presents a new series of monotypes. Elusive in nature, they appear reminiscent of wood-cuts, gelatin silver prints, and even meticulously rendered ballpoint pen drawings. In actuality, Kenny composes them by inking and arranging plastic shopping bags then running them through an intaglio press. The resulting forms range from solid rock-like masses to writhing anthropomorphic swirls. His unique works on paper capture both the spirit of Jean Arp's playful abstraction and the dynamic energy of Franz Kline's black and white painting.
Derek Eller Gallery is located at 615 West 27th Street, between 11th and 12th Avenues. Hours are Tuesday - Saturday from 11am - 6pm. For further information or visuals, please contact the gallery at 212.206.6411 or visit www.derekeller.com
