On view to the public from May 15 through June 15, the exhibition launches with an artist salon hosted by Wulf Treu on May 14, coinciding with the Frieze New York Art Fair on Randall's Island. Figurative Destruction features dramatic large format oil paintings on canvas, mixed media works on wood, and a video art wall installation highlighting the artist's neon works. For the first time, Treu will also present studies on paper from his body of work in sculpture, painting, and mixed media. These studies will be grouped into five stories, each containing four original oil, pastel, pencil and watercolor works, affording collectors and guests a special opportunity to acquire Treu's work at an unprecedented price point. Framed with offset primary colors, each piece is signed, dated and embossed by the artist.
