Artist Talk: Philip Taaffe
(Arts)
Attend an artist talk by internationally acclaimed painter Philip Taaffe, who has created a prolific body of work where referential images borrowed from various cultural and scientific sources are layered together with invented motifs. He masterfully synthesizes an encyclopedic range of references to history, the natural sciences, and cultures around the world in bold, vibrant paintings. Taaffe's work interweaves silk screening, stenciling, collage, marbling, staining, and many other image making approaches into rich and complex paintings. A fascination with symbols, cultural traditions, and rituals across civilizations and throughout time infuse this exhibition of 10 paintings from the artist's studio, private collections, and Luhring Augustine in New York.
