Samuel Lynne Galleries will present contemporary sculptor Michael Kalish’s much-anticipated return to Dallas. His exhibition, "Greetings from Texas" will be a retrospective of his most popular series, along with his new portfolio of three-dimensional work.
Kalish’s career was set in motion with his legendary license plate sculptures, an artistic expression of his fascination with pop culture and Americana, and his aptitude for repurposing found metal objects into beautiful creations. "Greetings from" Texas is a kind of “coming home” for Kalish. He has not exhibited work in Dallas in almost eight years, but feels that Dallas is a second home for him.
The exhibit is a retrospective in the sense that he will be showing artwork from his older series along with a new body of work, which has been almost five years in the making, combining elements that he has pioneered and perfected. Kalish brings with him some of the most cutting-edge sculptural work, in which he has skillfully implemented advanced technologies to excite viewers, and remain at the forefront of his industry.
His three-dimensional editions, constructed of high-gloss metal layers, playfully interact with audiences, affording unique experiences across vantage points. Kalish’s series of nudes reveal his ability to materialize rigid elements into seemingly delicate forms, stunning spectators with their impressive optical illusions.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through May 4.
