Pie Projects Contemporary Art is honored to present the exhibition John Connell + Eugene Newmann, featuring paintings, works on paper, and bronze sculptures by two legendary artists whose decades long friendship span into a remarkable working collaboration.
Notably, the two artists collaborated on The Raft Project (1989–1994): A giant sculpture/painting project that inspired by Géricault's The Raft of the Medusa. The Raft Project exhibition included life-sized sculptures made of tar, paper and wood, and monumental paintings of the sky's constellations, a reference to night navigation.
The current exhibition features The 16th Hour At Celestial Equator - one of the The Raft Project collaborative paintings - and its monumental counterpart, as well as a selection of Connell's ink drawings and small bronze sculptures, and Newmann's Virgo Constellation monoprints. Additionally, Newmann will present some of his most recents oil and acrylic paintings.
