Landon Metz: Feels So Right Now

12. Juni – 21. Juli 2018

Coinciding with Art Basel 2018, von Bartha is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Brooklyn-based artist Landon Metz. Titled Feels So Right Now, the exhibition runs in their Basel space from 12 June – 21 July 2018.

Metz’s practice revolves around the activity of painting, yet also incorporates sculpture, installation, sound and performance. His works explore the inherent properties of materials, creating organic, flowing shapes which shift emphasis from a specific gesture towards an overall experience of form, colour and hue.

The exhibition at von Bartha expands on the artist’s exploration of the relationship between image and object. In the gallery’s entrance, Metz’s shapes translate into a floor sculpture consisting of three parts. Redirecting the visitors’ way through the gallery space, the pieces invite the viewer to interact with their freestanding forms, navigating around and between them.
