Swung by Deitch gallery to see Ryan McGinness exhibit. what a space. his work fills it nicely with great amount of color, intricate paintings and complicated sculptures. eye sensory overload….in a good way. take a look for yourself, it’s worth it.

18 Wooster Street, New York.
from deitch.com –
“…McGinness merges several of the most important directions in contemporary painting. His work combines all-over composition, inspired by Jackson Pollock and the mechanical silkscreen process inspired by Andy Warhol. The work also fuses naturalistic and contemporary pop culture references. His imagery derives form a broad range of sources: from dreams and hallucinations to song lyrics and fragments of art history. There is a push and pull between content and form, and between literal meaning and intuitive feeling. McGinness’s paintings represent his own mental landscape. His compositions reflect the infinite, ever-flowing continuum of the universe.”
I took some photos as well.
