Until March 29 work by Pieter Vermeersch is shown in White Box, N.Y. This is his first exhibition in the United States. Over the last few years, Pieter Vermeersch (1973) has been building a critical reputation in Europe for his artwork that embeds a deep interest in modernist monochromatic painting inside a representational project, concerned with the organization and depiction of the effects of light in space.
At White Box, Vermeersch's minimal presentation will begin by removing all temporary walls and furniture, stripping the space back to a progression of simple volumetric spaces or boxes. This simple architectural condition is the starting point for Vermeersch's large scale wall paintings that slowly graduate from pure gallery white through to deeply saturated color. This graduated surface redefines the way the space is perceived, but also reminds viewers of the grey scale familiar from photographic and printing processes, as if they too have been merged into a kind of representation.
From February 25 until March 29 in White Box, 329 Broome Street, NY 10002.
