Westwood Gallery Opens Will Insley ONECITY, 4/29

Westwood Gallery will present a solo exhibition by New York artist Will Insley. ONECITY, envisioned by Insley, is a 675 mile square architectural labyrinth of mythology buried in the central North American plains. Through drawings, paintings, and photomontage the artists created a civilization based on his written manuscript leading to the concept of ONECITY. For over forty years, Insley created this ongoing project which was exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum, NYC in 1984.

Westwood Gallery will exhibit 33 works of art by Insley. The artist's work is in the collection of over 100 museums, including Museum of Modern art, NYC, Solomon Guggenheim Museum, NYC Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC, Albright Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, CT, as well as Kunsthalle Basel and the Foundation Maeght, St. Paul-de-Vence, France. Insley's artwork has been exhibited worldwide, including in Dokumenta and Venice Biennale.

His artwork has been reviewed extensively in art publications, such as ARTnews, Art in America and The New York Times and documented in The New American Abstraction 1950-1970, by Claudine Humblet.

The exhibition dates are April 14th through May 27th. It is curated by James Cavello. An opening reception for the artist will take place Thursday, April 29th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
