Mark Manders is now open at the gallery!
For his sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, Mark Manders presents new work ranging from monumental bronze busts to abstract sculptural landscapes and discrete paintings and works on paper. Dreamlike and fragmented, these new pieces populate the gallery like a series of thoughts to which the artist gave form and then froze in time. Experienced together, the works form a kind of scenography of the mind for the visitor to move through and inhabit.
Over the course of his thirty-year career, Manders has centered his practice on the creation of poetic and paradoxical fictional worlds. In Manders’ installations past, present, and future exist simultaneously, gravity is at once emphasized and defied, the boundaries between painting and sculpture are permeable, and language is simultaneously all-powerful and insufficient. In his work, experiences that are universal and yet indescribable like melancholy, are given powerful form. Serving less as evidence of his own life, thoughts, and existence, Manders sees the scenes, environments, and individual works he creates more as tools to explore the idea of subjectivity itself.
‘Mark Manders’ is on view at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York through July 31
