2-TIMES • Art
Ross Bleckner,
‘Quid Pro Quo’
@ Capitain Petzel
—
“The main thing
for me is how the
image is disembodied,
almost vaporized,
into this continuous
pulsating glow that
emanates from
something.”
Born:
1949 — New York,
United States.
‘Quid Pro Quo’:
Is Bleckner's first solo
at the Berlin gallery,
comprising a series
of recent paintings
which shift in and
out of focus, just as
the artist understands
the mind’s way of
functioning — he paints
based on the mutations
of his consciousness.
“These works, made
in the solitude of my
East Hampton studio,
reflect on the failure
of one generation to
pass a better world
along to the next,
and the attempt (…)
to nevertheless continue
to live with a modicum
of peace (and) joy.”
