Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space is pleased to present -figur, a solo exhibition of recent works by Lower East Side Studio Program alum Kemar Keanu Wynter, on view at 88 Essex St. from November 15, 2024 through February 1, 2025.
-figur follows on the heels of Kemar’s previous solo exhibition, Rücken-, at Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, serving as its complement and functioning to complete the term Rückenfigur, a visual motif used extensively within the lineages of both German Romanticism and Hudson River School painting, each of which has been integral to Wynter’s practice over the last year.
“In many ways, Rücken- was a reflection on the relationships I hold dear in my life–those external connections that form the periphery of who I am as an individual. -figur is about my relationship with myself, the core of my being–the last year has been one of immense flux and within that crucible, there has been a sort of recrystallization of the self that I’m excited to reflect on through the work.”
