Terry Winters Presents Abstract Paintings and Drawings at Matthew Marks Gallery in New York
From November 6, 2008, to January 24, 2009, Terry Winters exhibited eleven large oil paintings and five smaller graphite drawings at Matthew Marks Gallery in New York City, titled 'Knotted Graphs.' The abstract compositions feature knots that appear flat up close but spherical from a distance, using a palette of blues, yellows, and reds, reminiscent of Henri Matisse. Winters employs pointillist techniques similar to Georges Seurat, prioritizing intuition over precision. The exhibition drew comparisons to works by Sam Francis, Philip Taaffe, and Matisse, while also evoking Sean Scully and Mark Rothko. The gallery is located at 522 West 22nd Street, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, contact 212-243-0200.
