About the Item

KEVIN APPEL Untitled Composite, 2017 Oil and UV cured ink on paper 40 x 28 inches 101.6 x 71.1 cm Signed and dated: Kevin Appel 2017 (verso) -- Kevin Appel’s paintings are built of fragmentary moments of reception and recognition. Initially constructed as studio-wall tableaux, composite images were then re-photographed as flattened pictures. His body of work reshuffles, tears, and reconstructs forms derived from the initial composites—sometimes directly printing them in UV inks on the surface and sometimes implied through repetition of form. The space of the work folds into itself—creating both illusions and straightforward flattened surfaces. Appel’s paintings grow out of a prismatic collage of new and old imagery to explore a complicated space of utopian collapse. The works are ordered chaos. The reclaimed landscapes depicted in the photographs break down into the essential patterns, tones, and textures, rhyming with painting and vice versa. Kevin Appel (b. 1967, Los Angeles, CA) lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
