In his first New York showing since 2005, Max Gimblett displays a new series of works, many painted on quatrefoil-shaped canvases, and using an extensive spectrum of metallic leafs, reflective pigments and thick pourings of glistening lacquers and resins.  These brilliant materials are then painted over with deceptively simple gestural brushstrokes that have the instantaneous spontaneity of Asian calligraphy or pared down action painting.  The rear gallery features a selection of sumi ink drawings.
