Matthew Ritchie's latest exhibition, A Garden in the Machine, is open at our 48 Walker Street gallery through October 15, 2022. The show can also be viewed virtually in our latest Viewing Room here.
A Garden in the Machine brings together two new series of paintings, drawings, and a related film with a monumental sculpture. These works explore the ways in which Ritchie synthesizes systems; from the mathematical to the botanical to the poetic, to create a deeply personal language of expressive hybrid forms. The gesture becomes a means of teasing out the overlapping threads and knotty contradictions between seemingly disparate realms of understanding.
