Ian Davenport at Kasmin Gallery

A cascade of color greets visitors to Kasmin Gallery’s cavernous 27th Street gallery in the form of British artist Ian Davenport’s large-scale poured paintings.  Inspired by the gorgeous colors he once encountered in a field of bluebonnets, the artist planned sequences of poured lines of paint that would translate a natural vision into a powerful, mediated experience of color.  (On view in Chelsea through Jan 9th).
