Isaac Lin’s, A Place Near Here, opens tonight at Fleisher Ollman!

Isaac Lin A Place Near Here January 21 – February 20, 2010     Fleisher Ollman Gallery 1616 Walnut Street, Suite 100 Philadelphia, PA 19103 www.fleisher-ollmangallery.com   From Fleisher Ollman’s press release: “In the main gallery, Lin, best known for his graphic prints and paintings, will debut two major sculptural pieces. A variation on a piece shown at the Institute of Contemporary Art (Philadelphia) as part of Locally Localized Gravity in 2007, a simple room constructed from cardboard boxes is painted to resemble brick. The structure houses paintings and prints from floor to ceiling and resembles an abandoned building defaced over time. A second sculptural work, made from rigid insulation, is a tangle of three-dimensional lines and letters that simultaneously recall monuments, forests, and Matisse’s cut-outs.”      “The side gallery will feature approximately thirty photographs taken by fellow artists and friends (including Barry McGee, Casey Belle Watson, Alex Lukas, Darshana Borah, Andrew Jeffrey Wright, and Dan Murphy) on which Lin has drawn and painted. “
