Sean Kelly is pleased to announce Landon Metz’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. This new body of work reflects Metz's ongoing enquiry into the relationship between form and its absence. Paintings are the primary vehicle through which Metz invites a heightened awareness of presence, one mirrored in both the execution of his work and the viewing experience itself. His visual language is a mediation on the relativity of experience, emphasizing the connection between polarities: subject to object, figure to ground, and materiality to immateriality. The opening reception will take place on Wednesday, September 7, from 6-8 pm. The artist will be present.

"I simply like the intimacy of small works and the full-body temporal experience of larger works; I feel the different scales have the potential to stimulate unique philosophical probes that build upon one another." - Landon Metz

"While there are conceptual and philosophical constants in my work, they’re designed with an awareness of variability, an allowance for flexibility and growth. It’s a delicate balance. You can’t rely on spontaneity entirely, but you can build a practice that allows the element of chance to intervene." - Landon Metz
