 to be titled, 2004 acrylic and collage on panel, 45 x 45 inches, 114.3 x 114.3 cm Tony Oursler Drawings Lehmann Maupin would like to announce an exhibition of new paintings and collages by Tony Oursler. This will be the artist's second exhibition at Lehmann Maupin Gallery. Known as an innovative sculptor, Oursler continually makes works on paper to record ideas, allowing for a free and imaginative process of connection to his subjects. Recently exploring the use of collage in his paintings and works on paper, he incorporates video. These spontaneous paintings and collages create various biomorphic forms generating odd and playful visages. Sometimes troubling as well as engaging and entertaining these new works are representative of Oursler's fascination with the human psyche and pathos. Tony Oursler received a BFA from the California Institute for the Arts in 1979. Recently, his work has been included in "Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque" at SITE Santa Fe, and is on view at Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Paris and he is planning for an exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou in 2005. Tony Oursler's work is represented in numerous museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Tate Gallery in London.
