Jeff Perrott’s Dark Tomorrow at Morgan Lehman Gallery
Morgan Lehman Gallery is pleased to present new large-scale oil paintings by Jeff Perrott. This will be the artist’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery.
Over the years, Perrott has committed himself to exploring the possibilities of abstraction, interrogating its core tenets and material processes to reveal new and interesting ways of seeing. The works on view are part of an ongoing project that Perrott refers to as “Random Walks.” He explains, “the Random Walks question what I call the ‘will to power’ or ‘will to domination’ of abstract painting by redirecting my hand through the operation of chance: by forcing a negotiation with contingency. At the same time, as chance is choice, the process pushes through its own blindness to what I think of as a different sort of power, not so motivated by domination, but by curiosity with and participation in the thrownness of the situation.”
