Larry McKim - NegotiationIn his work, McKim draws inspiration from the great Modernists painters and seeks to “give space a voice”. Soft, organic shapes overlap across his compositions. A playful banter takes place between areas of color, calling to question the relativity of foreground and background if any is meant to exist at all. Color and form are reminiscent of aerial views. Essentially, McKim’s paintings give his viewers wings, enabling them to bridge gaps in time and space. A dream come true.
