Towards is pleased to be returning to NADA New York this year with a presentation of works by Ted Gahl and Adam Shiu–Yang Shaw.
Ted Gahl is known for an expansive painting practice that draws upon a wide variety of references. Hovering between abstraction and representation, his works often have an ethereal quality, with broad swathes of colours and nuanced characters that seemingly transcend both time and space. Uniting his practice in an intuitive approach to image-making, and a deep appreciation for the history and act of painting itself.
In his practice Adam Shiu-Yang Shaw addresses memory, psychogeography and the built environment. Working between objects, rooms and images, he uses everyday building materials, discarded consumer goods and hobbyist techniques to model and collage fragments of spatial transformation. The pre-existing forms which he aggregates are traced, disassembled and tailored into hybrid configurations and timelines.
