HALSEY MCKAY GALLERY

Situated in the upstairs gallery of Halsey McKay, Aaron Bobrow will present heavy metals, a new body of work consisting of painting, sculpture, and drawing. Continuing in the artist’s practice of working within the vernacular of architectural debris and the aesthetics of late modernism, vestibule partitions are coated with ink and enamel. The base of a steel table has been cut into pieces, and rewelded together. Layers of grids drawn on transparency now occupy an acrylic box. A display light set on the floor casts silhouettes as viewers circulate the room. Staged and memorialized, this work brings into focus the fetish of industry and  patina of use.

Aaron Bobrow (b. 1985) received his BFA from Parsons School of Design. His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Andrea Rosen Gallery, 55 Gansevoort, New York and Office Baroque, Brussels. He has also been featured in group shows at Martos Gallery, New York; Clearing Gallery, New York and Jonathan Viner, London. Bobrow is represented by Office Baroque, Brussels.
