Press Release

James Cohan is pleased to present We send the wave to find the wave, an exhibition of work by Spencer Finch, on view at the gallery’s 52 Walker Street location from September 10 through October 8. This is Finch’s fourth solo exhibition with James Cohan. The gallery will host an opening reception with the artist on Saturday, September 10 from 2 - 6 PM.

 

We send the wave to find the wave features new paintings, light-based work, watercolors, and major installations that deepen Finch’s investigations into light, color, and the variability of human perception. The exhibition continues Finch’s dynamic exploration of ways in which color and light are translated into a formal vocabulary rooted in minimalism, yet harnessed to an expressive effect.   

 

Finch has a concurrent major solo exhibition at Hill Art Foundation, Lux and Lumen: Spencer Finch, open now through March 4, 2023. More details on this exhibition can be found here.
