Chris Succo - Shadows Are Phantoms
In the organizer's words:
Shadows Are Phantoms is the title of Chris Succo's exhibition. A fitting title for an oeuvre that unites both the shadows of the past and those cast by the glaring light of the present. For as fresh and contemporary as the large-format, powerful paintings may be, they are deeply rooted in the postmodern tradition of abstract painting. Their seriality makes them seem like experimental arrangements that gradually work their way through the past in order to question painting's possibilities in the face of an overstimulated present.
Influences from artistic personalities such as Willem Dekooning, Mark Rothko or Paul McCarthy mingle with influences from American film and advertising aesthetics as well as the 90s subculture. Chris Succo's artistic practice is not limited to his paintings. Photographs, sculptures and installations inscribe the present into his work, always driven by the question of what it means to be an artist in a fast-moving society of exploitation.
In Shadows Are Phantoms, Chris Succo uses various groups of works to open up his painterly universe and allows us to participate in his restless search for meaning in the world and in painting.
