Description
David Korty Blue Shelves A new phase in the artist's work is marked by this extensive series of paintings, created between 2013 and 2015. Over forty canvases showcase objects arranged on tiered ledges or within boxed compartments, conveyed in dilute monochrome ink against fields of midnight-blue pigment. Each painting features a rhythmic interplay of line, shape and colour, as Korty distances the objects from their sources, abstracting the imagery into Cubist-style montages. The book opens with an essay by artist Laura Owens and is accompanied by a new piece on Korty's work by art historian Suzanne Hudson. This publication offers a unique insight into Korty's latest artistic developments, exploring his sensitivity to colour and contour, as well as his increasingly formalist interest in surface, outline and the interplay of two-dimensional and three-dimensional space.
