DAVIS & LANGDALE COMPANY, 231 EAST 60TH STREET, NEW YORK, ESTABLISHED IN 1952, announces its forthcoming exhibition:

STUART SHILS: RECENT MONOTYPES

beginning Saturday, November 16th, and continuing through Saturday, February 1st, 2014.

“it seemed important also to examine what goes on with a longer interval of time between the moment of contact and the making of a response. Instead of looking out at a motif and then turning to the canvas, perhaps I could wait say days, weeks or months before shaping a distilled response based on how that motif looked and felt sifted though the sieve of memory…. on return to my studio [I] begin to reconstruct what that might look like in the form of opaque and translucent layers of etching ink pressed out onto paper.”

—STUART SHILS, 2013

This exhibition is STUART SHILS’ seventh solo show at Davis & Langdale Company, and will feature 21 monotypes executed this year. While the monotypes recall definite locations and moments from the artist’s memory, SHILS’ interest is in the feelings evoked following a complex sensory experience rather than with making transcriptions of conventional appearance.

SHILS’ work has been widely exhibited in galleries and museums, including, Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects and Tibor de Nagy in New York, Hackett-Freedman in San Francisco; Mangel Gallery and Woodmere Art Gallery in Philadelphia; Bernard Toale Gallery in Boston, Fenton Gallery in Cork, Ireland and Rothschild Fine Arts in Tel Aviv. SHILS is the recipient of numerous grants and awards including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, a Ballinglen Arts Foundation Fellowship for Residency in Ballycastle, Ireland, and an Academy Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
