Kyle Breitenbach “Eight Heads Tall” at Shrine Gallery

Shrine is excited to announce the opening of Kyle Breitenbach’s first New York solo show, Eight Heads Tall.

The exhibition explores Breitenbach’s richly colored pastel drawings and hand-ground oil pigment paintings. This new body of work seamlessly weaves together flattened, abstract landscapes and architectural forms with highly stylized figurative elements that hover between classical idealized proportions and contemporary abstraction. Almost always faceless, these figures traverse lush, opaque fields of color and exist symbolically as simplified icons of the human form.
