The Gallery at Lincoln Center will present the New York City debut of Ann Marshall and Matthew Wood June 7th through June 30.

Beneath their initial decadent impression, Ann Marshall's evocative paper creations hint at the uneasy compromise of individuals existing in chaotic, conflicting, and sometimes overwhelming environments. Her accomplished technique marries many contradictions: the traditional and contemporary; materialism and humanism; ultrarefined pastel renderings and recycled women's magazines. All are visually merged into something intuitive, sophisticated, and curiously organic. Uneasily steeped in a bizarre biological or material decadence, her subjects remain absorbed by their own individual narratives and inner realities. The complicated result is slightly unsettling and startlingly beautiful.

Matthew Wood's work has been influenced by Cubism, Abstract Expressionism,  Minimalism, and theories surrounding New Abstraction. By engaging in a process consisting of drawing, photography, cutting, and layering, Wood creates his vibrant works known as “biomorphagrams.” Wood began this process by photographing pedestrian shadows and allowing these forms to evolve into abstract singular representations. By placing his resulting symbols into compositions, he created his visual language.
