STATIC by Bob Landstom

Please join us for the opening reception of Bob Landström’s solo exhibition, STATIC, on Saturday, October 5th, 6:00 – 9:00 pm.

Artist Bob Landström, known for his abstract, metaphysical paintings made from crushed, pigmented volcanic rock, will be present for the opening reception of his highly anticipated exhibition at Morton Contemporary.

His abstract paintings, with their highly granulated texture and vibrant color combinations, reconsider our relationship to one another and human history. In the artist’s words, “Volcanic rock is derived from the core of our planet. As such, my body of work is also an attempt to tap into the core of the human experience. When we survey human history, specifically through art, it becomes clear that all cultures share a collective understanding of meaning and symbols, what I might even call a collective soul. By using the iconography of ancient languages, religions, science, and mysticism, I hope to not only reconsider how we create meaning but also our relationship with the universal.”

Show runs from October 5th – 27th and can be viewed by appointment during open gallery hours (10am-7pm, everyday)
