Simon Hantaï | This Week in Culture: January 22 – 28

Simon Hantaï: Unfolding

Where: Timothy Taylor

When: January 25 - March 2

Why It's Worth a Look: This exhibition, curated by Molly Warnock, highlights 10 works spanning more than two decades of the late artist's practice. As viewers move through the pieces, the evolution of Hantaï's distinctive methods becomes apparent, starting with a 1958 work where he scraped pigment off of a painted canvas.

Know Before You Go: The artist was known for his pliage method, in which he painted knotted, crumpled, and folded canvases before unfurling them into their final form.
