Keith Boadwee | After Hours: Opening Friday 26 June 5-8PM
Forthcoming exhibition
Overview
OTP Copenhagen is proud to announce After Hours a solo exhibition by Keith Boadwee, opening at the gallery on Friday 26 June 5-8PM. Featuring a series of new small-format paintings, the exhibition marks the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and first in Scandinavia.
Keith Boadwee (b. 1961, Meridian, Mississippi) lives and works in Emeryville, California. Since the late 1980s, performance documentary and photography have played a key role in his practice alongside a sustained interest in a variety of different approaches to painting. The artist’s works are often characterised by a queer and critical engagement with art history, combining scatological humour with an interest in performativity and the aesthetics of transgression. In recent years, Boadwee has returned to motifs including poodles, frogs and emo kids to explore aspects of formal geometric painting - in the process testing the possibilities within these images for abstraction.
Keith Boadwee studied under Paul McCarthy, Chris Burden and Charles Ray. Work by the artist is included in the collection of MOCA Los Angeles and has been featured in notable exhibitions such as ‘Bad Girls’ (curated by Marcia Tucker) at The New Museum. Recent exhibitions include: Anton Kern Gallery (New York City), The Pit (Los Angeles) and Margin Gallery (Tokyo). In 2020, the artist exhibited at The FLAG Art Foundation as part of a two-person exhibition alongside Nicole Eisenman.
