Matt Philips: Six Paintings in Detroit
Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present Six Paintings in Detroit, the gallery's first exhibition with Brooklyn-based artist Matt Phillips, opening on October 26, 2024. The new body of work showcases Phillips' deliberate and tactile approach to painting, in which the artist's hand is an unmistakable presence in the construction of each piece.
Within his practice, Phillips employs a crude visual vocabulary of clearly defined shapes. Through a lexicon that is elemental- or archaic-seeming at its surface, the various forms have a surprising capacity to grow and compound upon one another to address a wide range of subjects. The paintings thrive in the tension between the static and the dynamic. In them, color, shape, and mark-making dissolve into a form of visual metaphor, and selfimposed restrictions paradoxically grant Phillips a greater level of freedom to explore a wide range of content.
