Presentation Details
Following the artist’s recent solo debut with the gallery, Mrs. will present works by Robert Zehnder. Assuming the guise of a “map-maker”, Zehnder produces fictitious surrealistic landscapes that are devoid of figures or objects, emerging from a private psychodrama. Notions of estrangement, interiority, and social anxiety come into play in his reductive, expressionistic depiction of nature and expanded middle grounds. Zehnder looks to the tormented post-industrial landscapes of American Regionalists such as Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton for inspiration, like them constructing psychic allegories of volatile and uncertain times.
About the Gallery
Founded in September of 2016 by Sara Maria Salamone and Tyler Lafreniere, Mrs. is a contemporary art gallery in Maspeth, Queens. Located away from the geographic center of the New York art world, the gallery focuses on offering a new platform for emerging, under represented and mid career artists, while engaging the surrounding community.
