Opening Reception | Paintings: Joseph Montgomery's Velveteen


Named in the sequential order in which they are completed, Joseph Montgomery’s paintings are propelled by a sense of adjacency, where each work sets the conditions for the next. In his second solo exhibition at the gallery, Montgomery's approach to generating paintings is both streamlined and complicated by combinatory structures, repeated forms (shims or wedges), and radical scale shifts. Shifting between positions of painting, sculpture, and the spaces in between, his work interrogates the nature of the image: its repetition, fabrication, origin and duplication.
