Donald Moffett: The Hollow
NOV 27, 2020
- JAN 18, 2021
New York-based
artist Donald Moffett (b. 1955) emerged as both an artist and activist in the
late 1980s, participating in the Act Up movement and as a founding member of
the Gran Fury Collective. Dedicated to abstraction and the monochrome, Moffett
challenges the traditional flat frame through non-traditional painting
techniques, employing a private language of form that serves as a carrier for
both personal and political meaning. Moffett often treats the canvas as a
surrogate for the body, creating orifices by cutting and flaying or perforating
the canvas. The resulting compositions are provocative and poetic, hinting at
playfulness, all the while serving as an implicit form of social critique.
