In a Time of Darkness, This Is Wonderful News: Matthew Kirk @ de boer, Los Angeles

de boer (Los Angeles) is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of mixed-media wall works and sculpture by Matthew Kirk in Los Angeles. In Kirk’s first solo exhibition with de boer, the New York-based artist presents large and medium-scale works evoking art historical antecedents from Henri Matisse, Christopher Wool, and Joe Fedderson as well as traditional pictography, abstraction, and the cultural memory of his upbringing. The exhibition’s title, In a Time of Darkness, This Is Wonderful News, captures the spiritual optimism embedded in Kirk’s process that leads with joy, clarity, and connection.
