A collection of work by artist Shane Walsh. Walsh acquired his MFA from the College of Washington-Seattle. He at present teaches portray and drawing on the College of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, splitting his time between his studios in Milwaukee and New York Metropolis the place he’s represented by Asya Geisberg Gallery. Walsh’s work borrow from historic abstraction and graphic imagery. Approaching portray as a type of collage, he playfully dissects and reconstructs with a view to arrive at a visible language that displays a big selection of references, strategies, and supplies:
“This reduce and paste ethos is a direct results of my involvement within the subcultures of the 1990’s. Different influences like xeroxed zines, tv movement graphics, and design components from disco and early graffiti, mix with painterly and geometric Abstraction. With all these components in my toolbox, I then redirect and choreograph this ensemble on the portray floor, using a wide range of paint dealing with strategies and charged interactions… by reshaping present visible codes, I hope to create a personalized, reinvented, individualized model of abstraction that’s particular to my life experiences and related to this time and place.”
