Curated by Dylan Solomon Kraus

James Fuentes is pleased to present Wayfaring Stranger, a group exhibition featuring works by Ned Armstrong, Zuzanna Bartoszek, and Dylan Solomon Kraus himself. Introducing three painters who share a dialogue around the narrative and atmospheric capacities of figurative painting. While Armstrong, Bartoszek, and Kraus all live and work in Berlin, they emerge from London, Poland, and the United States, respectively. A deliberate flatness of painting and a restrained, meditative use of color inflect their uncanny tableaux with a highly personal interiority. The artists’ personal histories shape their retro-futurist storytelling, converging fragments of memory with elements of cultural imagination drawn from film and literary representations.
