Description
Pace Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of all new paintings by James Siena, marking the gallery?s sixth solo exhibition by the artist since joining the gallery in 2004. The exhibition will debut Siena?s first works using acrylic paint on large format canvases, all created in 2018. 0The scale and medium of the new paintings mark a significant departure from Siena?s more intimate and intricate enamel on aluminum paintings, which the artist has been known for since the 1990s. The use of acrylic paint and stretched canvas as the support have introduced new levels of painterliness, physicality, and immediacy to his practice. Drawing together approximately 10 paintings ranging in size from 36? x 48? to 70? x 90?, the new pieces have evolved away from the object-ness quality of Siena?s earlier work yet maintain a consistency with his long-held focus on personal geometries and rule-based abstraction. 00Exhibition: Pace Gallery, New York, USA (11.01.-09.02.2019).
