\"\"Emil Lukas<\/a> Infinite Edge <\/i>6 February \u2013 15 March 2025 New York, NY \u2013 9 January 2025: Sperone Westwater is pleased to present new work by Emil Lukas.<\/p>\n

His fifth solo exhibition at the gallery is comprised of paintings and works on paper utilizing materials which have characterized his practice: thread, acrylic, ink and larvae. Lukas\u2019 circular thread paintings, Fuse <\/i>and In Wave <\/i>(each 60 inches in diameter) combine an actively painted reflector behind an accumulation of thread.<\/p>\n

The artist\u2019s new series of lattice paintings, including Glass in Moving Water, <\/i>explores what happens when we process two complementary paintings at the same time. The artist creates an underpainting on the canvas, then layers a second composition on a raised pattern of dots. The combined acrylic-on-canvas works engage the viewers\u2019 position and distance in the surrounding architecture of the gallery.<\/p>\n
