John Kissick: A Nervous Decade at The Art Gallery of Windsor
January 21 – March 25, 2012
"A Nervous Decade brings together 19 paintings on canvas and
panel from public and private collections throughout Canada. Originally
conceived as a mid-career survey, this exhibition traces Kissick's early
exploration and re-assembly of an abstract expressionist lexicon,
through to a current immersion in hybrid painting informed by popular
culture. His focus on complicating the interpretive procedures at play
in viewing painting has evolved into a current interest in sentiment and
the supposedly raw experience of looking. This exhibition provides a
glimpse into Kissick's intelligent and dynamic practice." (www.agw.ca)
