Opens Tonight, Jan 14, 6-8p:

”Interiors”
 Pierre Bonnard, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, William Copley & Édouard Vuillard

Andrew Kreps Gallery, 525 W22nd St., NYC

The show highlights the rich optical and visual layers and patterning consistent in each of the artists’ work, depicting interior spaces full of feeling, psychological depth and a sense of remembrance – a domestic hedonism, or meditations on the nature of time, perception and memory.

This layering connects each of the artists to a different moment in history; Impressionism, Surrealism, and Post-Pop – but reading them together opens up a thread which connects to the work of Gustav Flaubert – the circumscription of a character’s inner life by a description of their domestic environs. For example, in Madame Bovary the author depicts rooms in which the everyday objects accumulate into accidental still lifes, acting as elements of a psychological portrait.  Flaubert utilizes repetition and symbolism to create a complex portrait of his characters, and the four artists in the exhibition use this repetition visually to the same effect - Bonnard and Vuillard collapsing decorative and subjective, Chaimowicz conflating a glam rock and French classical/romantic aesthetic and finally Copley creating surrealist sexual tableaus.
