ANGEL OTERO “Milagros” at Lehmann Maupin

Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce Angel Otero’s Milagros. The New York-based artist will debut a series of recent, large-scale tapestry-like oil paintings that hang entirely free from a stretcher bar. Over the last decade, Otero has developed physically rigorous and experimental techniques to push the boundaries of painting. Drawing much of his inspiration from the inherent qualities of oil paint, Otero uses collage and materiality as he explores the potential for abstraction to engage issues of identity as well as form, color, and line. The gallery will host a reception for the artist on Thursday, March 7, from 6 to 8 PM at 501 West 24th Street.
