15 November 2019 - 4 January 2020
Galerie Buchholz is pleased to present a show of seven new paintings by Caleb Considine (*1982 in Los Angeles, lives and works in New York). In his second solo exhibition at Galerie Buchholz, Caleb Considine continues his practice of observational painting in the studio and surrounding area. Scenes of daily life appear alongside literary and political fragments, formally integrated but open ended. The paintings register prolonged physical proximity to their subjects, but collectively suggest a dislocation and imagistic remove conventionally associated with photographic techniques that Considine eschews. While the figures are all inanimate strictly speaking, the range from topical to formal and personal subject matter offers snapshots of a life world.
