Michael Lett is pleased to announce an
exhibition of new work by Chris Lipomi.
Chris Lipomi’s recent bodies of work draw on a range of founding influences. Wanting to be able to paint like Basquiat, Chris painted a Basquiat a day for a year. Chris Lipomi’s most recent show in New York applied the formal structure of Jason Rhoades’ Perfect World (1999), and for his show at Michael Lett he does likewise with another: Mike Kelley’s Craft Morphology Flow Chart (1991).
