David Richard Gallery is pleased to present, Strange Attractors, the gallery’s first solo exhibition for New York artist, Stephen Pusey. This exhibition focuses on eleven new paintings from 2020 and 2021, conceived of and created during the Covid 19 pandemic and the shutdowns therefrom. While this new series of paintings is rooted in the artist’s familiar complex overlays of linear abstractions and dense color with references to calligraphy and symbols, these new paintings are aesthetically different from Pusey’s more recent series of paintings. The key divergent characteristic is the emergence of distinct forms that often nod to representational elements, albeit still quite abstract and obscured. To map the recent visual migration, this presentation includes: three paintings from 2019, three from 2018 and three more from 2017.
