Influences of Time

C1760 Townhouse, New York City

Influences of Time juxtaposed various works in different media and spanning over 150 years. Beginning with the design innovations of Toulouse-Lautrec, moving into the Constructivists and following through to Philip Guston and renowned minimalists like Sol LeWitt, the timeline concludes with Maria Kreyn, the youngest living artist in the exhibition, who was commissioned by the gallery to create a work in response to the show.

Reprising art historical conventions of the Baroque and Romantic periods, Maria’s work can be best described as a re-mix of familiar pictorial tropes and iconographies that communicate through a combination of allegory, masterfully rendered figures, and mysterious scenes which are neither of a specific time nor place.
