A special exhibit at Ward Nasse Matthew Lauretti
A Special Exhibition by Matthew Lauretti
Ward-Nasse Gallery, NYC
3-28 August, 2010
Italian-American artist, Matthew Lauretti's exhibition at the Ward-Nasse Gallery will feature his latest works, large-scale, calligraphic-style graffiti paintings about New York.
Lauretti's work juxtaposes materials to reveal tensions--between the natural and the man-made, the city and suburbia, class and culture--creating a record of our desires, obsessions, and excesses. Twentieth-century art movements such as Assemblage, Surrealism, and Arte Povera are revisited and updated by the artist highlighting his capacity to express humor, poetry, and greatness through humble means. His approach illustrates the characteristic strengths--and, at times, the principal weakness--of arts traditions.
In his work, Lauretti does something riskier and more paradoxical, entering the spirit of perception as if to know it from the inside. He retains something youthful yet knowing. Crucially it is this swirling inner contradiction that visually shows how successful his work is at dealing with the human condition. Contradiction is Lauretti's way of showing the unavailability of certainty about anything, specifically the human relationships. The result is an art stripped bare, and with an overture so bold and rich, it is hard not to be lured in.
