JOEL MORISON AT ALMINE RECH GALLERY, PARIS
By Crash redaction
« A raw reality that remains supple by being lubricated or oiled with a kind of sarcasm. » Franz West
For his second solo exhibition at Almine Rech Gallery, Los Angeles-based artist Joel Morrison shows a conceptual framework encased in seamlessly refined exteriors with everyday objects, until February 15, 2014.
Between minimalism and abstraction, order and chaos, Morrison reaches a global audience through undeniable craftsmanship while maintaining his subversive integrity.
In this exhibition, he refined surfaces allude to a team of specialized fabricators and technologically advanced machines creating the works, as opposed to the physically demanding, painstaking and analog process by which the artist’s hand is literally involved in every step of the process.
