Andy Collins 2007

January 6, 2007- February 10, 2007

Andy Collins

Mary Boone Gallery

541 W 24th St

On 6 January 2007 the Mary Boone Gallery will open at its Chelsea location an exhibition of new paintings by Andy Collins. Andy Collins paints fluent abstractions based on line and form extracted from real images. By obscuring our recognition of the subject, Collins creates a dif- ferent visual understanding of something familiar.

These compositions take on formal qualities, becoming a fusion of shapes that suggest the contours and negative spaces of the human body. The surface of each painting fluctuates from hard and glossy to soft and matte, reinforcing the impression that the mutable space Collins envisions is comprised of many distinct layers. By working with a defined range of pale colors, Collins trans- forms paint into evocations of flesh, cream, smoke, sea, and sky. The images become ethereal meditations on reality, with just enough suggestion of their origin to avoid appearing arbitrary.
