Space776 New York is pleased to present (In)Figuration, a group exhibition featuring artists Rene Grgic Dakovic, Jeff Gomez, Frank Olt, Kyung Tae Kim, Hannah Hirsch, and Sahyun Paik. With each artist showing up to six paintings, this exhibition explores how artists interpret and depict objects. This show emphasizes the artists’ viewpoints and their expression of representation.  Artists often engage in a process of construction and deconstruction. In order to capture a figure in a representational manner, artists play, experiment, take apart, and rebuild. Each artist brings their own natural perspective in order to render objects with hyper-reality. In contrast to the mechanical grid, this allows the artist to capture a deeper essence of reality.  As we consider the action behind a piece, the artist’s outlook is revealed. With the exhibition (In)Figuration, Space776 New York encourages viewers to feel the difference between figuration and in-figuration. This group show showcases the unique viewpoint of each artist, all of them offering their distinct approach to seeing and representing the world.
