Opening Reception
534 West 26th Street
Friday April 18, 6-8 pm

Mitchell-Innes & Nash presents its first solo exhibition of British painter Paul Winstanley. Winstanley's first New York show in over ten years will be on view in the Chelsea gallery from April 18 to May 24.

Winstanley's imagery derives from photographs, usually his own. He engages traditional genres of painting such as the interior, still life, and landscape, filtered through the lens of photography. His paintings often depict repeated variations of the same scene: a landscape glimpsed through a window curtain, a barren, dimly-lit walkway, or the waiting room of an anonymous corporate office.

Born in 1954 in Manchester, England, Paul Winstanley lives and works in London. His exhibitions include Kerlin Gallery, Dublin (2005); 1301PE, Los Angeles (2005); The Renaissance Society, Chicago (2002); and Tate Gallery, London (1998). His first retrospective will be on view at the Auckland Art Space in New Zealand from April 26 - May 31, 2008; a fully-illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition. Paul Winstanley is represented in New York by Mitchell-Innes & Nash.
