Concrete and Glass

March 5, 2013

Concrete and Glass, an exhibition of new paintings by Kyle Clements will be on display at Moore Gallery in Toronto from March 9 to March 30, 2013.

The opening reception will be held on Saturday, March 9th, from 2 to 4pm.

I put so much effort into pulling this show together and advertising it on social media, I forgot to announce it on the official website! Hopefully everybody who checks this page also checks the facebook and twitter pages.

This show was the first time that I’ve had enough of an established body of work that I wasn’t rushing around at the last minute, fighting to crank out enough work to display. For this show, I was able to pick a theme, set out my entire body of work, stand back, and pick out a number of pieces that fit that theme. In this case, visual abundance was the focus – the density of images we come across in our daily lives from advertisements and videos to photos on social media, was something I was thinking about.

I selected paintings that were based on collages of images taken from time-lapse photography sequences, where I was literally choosing one or two images from thousands of possibilities and combining them into digital collages emphasizing speed, abundance, and visual density.
