Erik Parker: New Soul : Mary Boone Gallery, New York, NY

On 10 January 2019, Mary Boone Gallery will open at its Fifth Avenue location New Soul, an exhibition of new paintings by ERIK PARKER. 

A highlight of the exhibition is a series of tondo paintings of various sizes depicting pools of water within luxuriant landscapes. Parker’s characteristic array of intense colors infuses these scenes, which range from sunlit tropical lagoons to shaded cenote reservoirs. Lush vegetation frames and nearly overtakes the view, as if these alluring places, with their offer of escape fantasy, are being unveiled through the telescope of a distant explorer.
