Booth C04
David Kordansky Gallery is pleased to announce a solo presentation of new silkscreen prints and paintings by Matthew Brannon at ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair. Visit us at Booth C04 at the fair from November 10 – 13.
Matthew Brannon is one of contemporary art's most astute chroniclers of cultural movements and their associated signifiers. His unique silkscreen prints, paintings, and other works are the products of meticulous research and careful craft. They are also vivid personal fantasias in which recognizable forms interact with mysterious ones drawn from the depths of the collective imagination. For ART021, Brannon has trained his focus on the complex visual history of the 1980s, expanding on his longstanding interest in the transformations of the 1960s and 1970s to examine a new set of icons, milestones, and art historical resonances.
The presentation features both unique silkscreen prints and paintings. As a group, their saturated hues and multi-faceted allusions constitute an immersive look at the ways in which cinema, popular music, technology, and mass media underwent pointed changes during a decade that continues to inspire nostalgia, fear, and curiosity. Brannon's compositions depict real-world objects and objects of fantasy as closely related manifestations of a common source of innovation, hysteria, and imagination. His works––as psychological as they are critical––pinpoint the places where fact and fiction uncomfortably intersect.
