McGinness 2005
October 21, 2005- November 26, 2005
521 W 26th St
Over the last decade,
Ryan McGinness has created a unique body of work based on a self-created visual language of icons, abstract shapes, and color forms. An unusual marriage of abstraction and representation, McGinness's colorful paintings consist of layers of images composed into varied and often baroque compositions. He combines visions of pageantry such as fleurs-de-lis and laurel wreaths with modern symbols such as cell phones, factories, and clip-art like military symbols. Sometimes unexpected figures appear like unicorns or donkey-headed men. The images read like hieroglyphs from the digital age as the forms explore a range of contemporary and universal themes.
