LORENZO DUPUIS: STRANDS

 Opening reception: Saturday, December 7, 2 PM

Art Placement is pleased to present this latest exhibition by Lorenzo Dupuis, showcasing his most recent work in egg tempera. For more than a decade, Dupuis has explored egg tempera, interpreting the ancient medium through a modernist lens and abstract aesthetic vocabulary. Bringing together a range of recent works, the title of the exhibition can be read in multiple ways. In one sense, the nature of the medium itself necessitates short, quick strokes, creating a surface of overlapping and interlacing hatch marks that reference threads and woven textiles. In another sense, strands also refers to the variety of stylistic approaches Dupuis has pursued, ranging from representational realism to subtle, all-over fields, and high contrast geometric abstractions. These diverse approaches, all ongoing simultaneously, are the strands that weave together to form the tapestry of his recent production.
