Description

Josh Sperling (American, b. 1984)
Untitled, 2015
Oil on canvas
7 x 31-1/2 x 1 inches (17.8 x 80 x 2.5 cm)
Signed and dated to the reverse: Sperling '15

Riding a line between painting and sculpture-he calls them "sculptural paintings"-Josh Sperling's shaped canvases call back to 1960s and '70s Minimalism but articulate a totally contemporary sensibility. And he's not short on confidence: "I don't think anybody in the history of art has been able to control canvas the way I do," he says.
