Barnaby Furnas at Stuart Shave/Modern Art, 27 Jun to 27 Jul

Exhibition Description:

This is the American artist Barnaby Furnas’ second solo exhibition with the gallery. The show will present new and unseen paintings made during the last two years, including works from Furnas’ ongoing Rock Concerts, Effigies and Flood series.

Furnas’ uses the physical action of painting to hold the world in freeze-frame, dissecting the visual and performative landscapes he captures. Using these frozen images to read like film stills of speed, Furnas creates complex spatial abstractions, often on an epic scale.
