Contemporary Art: Adam Lupton´s Cerberus @ GR Gallery New York


  (Drivebycuriosity) - New York City is still fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. But at least some art galleries reopened for the public, giving me the chance to publish my first contemporary art post since March. The ambitious GR-Gallery on Manhattan´s Bowery has a fascinating new show (my reports about former shows are here  & here ).




They display now paintings by Adam Lupton. The show is called "Cerberus" (through November 14 2020 gr-gallery  ). I like the images which remind me a bit of Neo Rauch but speak their own mystic language.

 




 

The press release explains: "This body of Lupton’s work grows out of his OCD, where performing mental and physical rituals, endlessly seeking assurance, and repeating mantras and projections make up his every day – mediating between himself and an unyielding “otherness”. Through this lens, the work weaves together individual and societal rituals, spiritual schizophrenia, and self-defining myth, thereby illuminating our various attempts at and desires for certainty."

 





Adam Lupton, was born 1987 in Vancouver, Canada and currently lives and works in Brooklyn.

 




Enjoy!
