St. Louis-based Brandon Anschultz’s abstract paintings and sculptures exaggerate the materiality of paint itself. They emphasize its tactile qualities as well as the “accidental” shapes, stains, and forms it creates when not overly controlled or manipulated by the human hand. Anschultz’s Front Room project will demonstrate his range of formal approaches through the inventive use of pigment and paint.
