David Korty's recent work portrays a stylistically complex space in which his calligraphic alphabet of pencil lines, paint strokes, and colour forms coalesce into dense, seamless compositions. the simple images of everyday life - women reading magazines, couples milling about, figures waiting in line, and a man surveying a botanical garden betray the seeming mundanity of the subjects and reveal a kind of slow-burning introspection. the stillness of the figures and shapes in the paintings give way to a roving movement of the eye and hand. A voracious curiosity that asks us to look closer at the things which are already in front of us. Published alongside exhibitions at Sadie Coles HQ, London and Michael Kohn Gallery, Los Angeles in 2008. English text.
