Landon Metz's Paintings Dialogue with Space in Milan Exhibition
Landon Metz (born 1985, Arizona) lives in Brooklyn and creates paintings that interact with space and viewers. His process involves assembling canvas with organic materials, drawing simple contours in pencil, diluting pigments in plastic bottles, then performing a rapid action: dripping paint onto the white surface and directing it with sponges before it dries in seconds, revealing unpredictable nuances. The works, though seemingly uniform, show manual details up close and function as individual fragments within a poetic, musical, choreographic composition. The exhibition is at Galleria Francesca Minini in Milan.
