(Drivebycuriosity) - I like to go to contemporary art galleries. There are so many discoveries to be made. At Danese/Corey I saw an exhibition with amazing abstract paintings. They display paintings by the German artist Matthias Meyer (through November 9, 2019 danesecorey). Apparently most of these paintings refer to water surfaces, but for me they look like illustrations of the Big Bang.
Above you can see "Imado" - and a detail shot of it - (2016, oil on canvas, 55 x 110 inches (140x280cm).
The press release explains "Meyer’s painting method emulates the properties of water itself; diluted oil paint runs and falls across the canvas, investing the medium with the transparency and ephemeral qualities of watercolor".
