Bradley Harms - Maximalism & the New Simplicity

Bradley Harms

Newzones is pleased to announce Bradley Harms' solo exhibition, "Maximalism & the New Simplicity" which will open to view from September 18 - October 16. The opening reception will be held Saturday, September 25 from 1-4 pm. Harms' practice has always utilized painting as a tool with which to address contemporary experience. Though not utilizing it, these new paintings borrow heavily from the tropes of digital reproduction.Each mark is hand applied one-by-one accumulating into the thousands. Although appearing close to the notion of technical perfection, the paintings always fall short in that they subtly betray the human hand in their production. By manually striving for the digital notion of perfection without achieving it, the paintings turn the lens onto what they set out to emulate.
