    Event: "More Is More: The Maximalist Paintings Of David Gaither"

    Dates: 4 Jan 2017 - 27 Feb 2017

    Venue: St. Lawrence University Museum (Richard F. Brush Gallery), Canton, NY

    A comprehensive exhibition of works from David Gaither examining his Maximalism movement.

    Event: "Spectrum Miami"

    Dates: 30 Nov 2016 - 4 Dec 2016

    Venue: "Spectrum Miami", Miami, FL

    A prominent art fair during the Art Basel Miami weekend.

    Event: Axiom

    Dates: 1 Oct 2016 - 5 Dec 2016

    Venue: 511 Gallery, Chelsea, New York City, NY

    511 Gallery is pleased to present AXIOM, a solo exhibition of paintings by David Gaither. Gaither is an emerging, self-taught, Georgia-based artist, whose expansive, tapestry-like paintings are composed of both abstract and figurative shapes in bright, saturated colors. The formal and symbolic experimentation in these overwhelming, hyperdynamic triptychs and tondos creates an elaborate world of Gaither’s own creation, somewhere between reality and fantasy. Gaither’s work is known for its large, immersive scale, vibrant, bold colors, and diverse range of iconographic influences.

    Gaither’s explosive paintings envelop and transport the viewer; their forms are geometric and gridded, but various and inventive, and their bright colors vibrate. Each canvas is full to its bursting point. Gaither’s paintings simultaneously create and exist within their own dynamic dimension. His work proposes an alternative structure to the universe.
