Gauthier Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Matt McCormick. Continuing his use of familiar images of American nostalgia, McCormick has developed a new body of work that continues the conversation started in the photographs of the New Topographics in response to the generation before them. Revisiting earlier landscape works as a starting point while introducing new themes in an ongoing search for mans place in the natural world.

Images of tornados violently tearing through fields and everyday lands force the viewer to contemplate the inherent beauty of natural disasters while questioning humans role in the changing environment that surrounds us. Made with a traditional process reminiscent of painters of the early twentieth century, McCormick pays homage to the painters that came before him, while examining questions of "what ifs" and "where are we going". Presented with a narrative of intimate moments being literally ripped wide open, the skies opening and ones mortality being placed directly in front them, an almost soothing peaceful place is revealed, the calm before the storm.”

The exhibition will be on view through March 2021.
