Christopher Grimes Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new works by Kevin Appel. Appel’s new series of paintings begin as primary arrangements: cut-out paper forms referencing the portholes of Jean Prouvé’s Maison Tropicale are combined with Appel’s own photographs of fragments of his previous works, landscapes, and images of Paolo Soleri’s Arcosanti.

Much of his work examines the unreality of the media landscape, a landscape that distorts and manipulates our understandings of important and shared issues such as class and race. Yonemoto will also debut his most recent project, The End of the World at the Edge of the Earth, filmed in Argentina.

Yonemoto has been
