Free Style, THE HOLE NYC, 312 Bowery, New York City, NY, May 5th – May 21st, 2022

The Hole is proud to announce a special two-person project combining Kristine Moran and Russell Tyler: Free Style.

For this exhibition we juxtapose eight new paintings by Canadian artist Kristine Moran with six new acrylic paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Russell Tyler. The repeated geometric shapes across these fourteen paintings resonate in surprising ways, as Moran’s abstracted swimmers splash into the black-edged rectangles of Tyler’s proliferating polygons. Hung in a gallery painted three feet up each wall with aqua blue, the show wades into the territory between figuration and abstraction with interesting results.
