Julian Montague: Form and Fray

Maison Kitsuné has announced an exhibition of new works by Julian Montague titled Form and Fray at their gallery location on Perry Street. Made out of fabric from worn-out clothing, old sheets, tablecloths, and scraps of fabric leftover from other projects, Montague’s works speak of a previous existence marked and mottled by the mundane activities of everyday life.

Those familiar with Montague’s recent paintings will recognize some familiar motifs and shapes in this work including tower-like structures, angled lines and curved shapes. However, the physical qualities of the fabric materials shift the tone of the geometrically structured compositions: the hard edges appear fuzzier, the surfaces varying from corduroy to cable knit.
