Gladstone Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition by Richard Aldrich. The artist, known for his elusive, expansive, and multidisciplinary practice, shows a series of paintings and sculptures. For this presentation, Aldrich includes a grouping of new and older works alongside one another, a common practice for the artist, to provide important conceptual counterpoints to the collected artworks on view. This holistic and non-linear assemblage of objects charts Aldrich’s artistic progression over time, and demonstrates his inventive approach to the mediums he employs as well as the careful attention he pays to each installation of his work. Using images, symbols, language, painting, and music to evoke a variety of reference points and experiences, Aldrich proposes a series of complex and intertwined relationships through the ineffable visual language he has developed over the last two decades.
