Corey
Postiglione’s mature work begins with a series of minimalist works that examine
the nature of painting as an object, and are inspired by artists including Frank
Stella, Brice Marden, and Robert Mangold. In another series, Postiglione focuses
on the urban landscape in abstract paintings that are clearly referential. In
the 1990s the artist’s paintings embraced labyrinthine imagery as a metaphor for
several concepts – from global decentralization to personal journey. These works
were strongly influenced by the work of postmodern authors including Frederic
Jameson and Jean Baudrillard. Postiglione’s most recent paintings continue along
this aesthetic trajectory, propelled by new subjects such as exponential
population growth and its ramifications. |
