Eliot Greenwald : In Fact

20 Nov-11 Dec 2020

Taymour Grahne Projects, Holland Park
London W11 4LA

Overview

This online show offers a new approach to Eliot’s personal narrative of the Night Car, the iconography of which repeats itself throughout his work. A driverless car moves through sci-fi landscapes, picking up passengers under the gaze of two identical planets. In this mythological loop, environments are dedicated to swallowing their inhabitants at night. Within the Night Car, the passengers undergo mutations and births only to inevitably return to the story’s beginning. Unlike Eliot’s previous works, here the angle of perception shifts from the third person view to one from inside the Night Car, looking out and forward. The viewer takes the place of the passenger, looks beyond the amazement, or confusion, or shock, or devastation with eyes toward the next destination. Eliot’s works celebrate the unrelenting ability of humans to love and imagine new solutions, thus reviving notions of progress. The title In Fact connects to this series, as these two words imply a sudden realization and a fundamental change in perception of reality and the world itself. Eliot Greenwald (b. 1983, Portland, Maine) is a self-taught artist currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Eliot recently celebrated his debut solo show at Hesse Flatow Gallery and has an upcoming group show at Padre Gallery, both in New York. In December, he will be part of a two person presentation through Future Fair curated by Andrew Sendor, as well as a group show at Harper's Books (NYC), followed by a solo show at the same space in January 2021. He has participated in numerous shows in NYC, including Drawer, Emmanuel Barbault Gallery, Spring Break Art Fair and Christie’s. He has also included in many charitable exhibitions hosted by Cunsthaus (FL), Art Movement (LA), Art Walk, Yossi Milo Gallery, Monica King Contemporary, Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, Artists for Humans and Let’s Panic Magazine (all in NYC). Selected group shows include Wassaic Project, Ortega y Gassett, Latchkey Gallery, Unisex Salon, Bruce High Quality Foundation, Idio Gallery (all in NYC). He has received press on-line through media outlets such as ArtNews, Artsy, Hyperallergic and Young Space, as well as been published in Let’s Panic Magazine and Maake Magazine.
