Using his acclaimed Tree of Life (2020-21) series as a source of inspiration, David Salle has created A Well-Leafed Tree Remixed, accentuating the themes of his paintings with a dynamic choreography of moving objects, painterly gestures, and narrative elements. With surprising color harmonies that coexist, and at times collide with the grisaille palette of the figures, A Well-Leafed Tree Remixed tells the story of a painting sprung to life. Binding together disparate pictorial languages with his signature wit and visual musicality, Salle uses animation to compound the narrative potential of his figures, producing in the process a complex yet legible mode of storytelling.
September’s Midnight Moment is presented in partnership with The Armory Show, Gladstone Gallery, and Lehmann Maupin as a part of Armory Off-Site, the fair’s outdoor art program featuring large-scale artworks across New York City’s parks and public spaces.
