The Thing, No. 23: David Korty - Mr. Natural, 2014

 Item — Box 242: [Barcode: 31858072460383]
Identifier: CC-58725-10001960
Scope and Contents

The Thing Quarterly is a periodical in the form of an object. It's like a magazine, except that each issue is conceived of by a different contributor and then published as a useful object. David Korty (born 1971, California) makes work that explores the everyday objects, scenes, and terrain of his living environment. His distinct geometric visual language takes this quotidian subject matter and pushes it towards abstraction, flattening it into a complex depiction of commonplace geometry. Korty's paintings oscillate between these abstractions and their identifiable subjects. What results is a sophisticated dialogue between the nonobjective and the representational, a way of seeing the surrounding world and reinventing it. Korty earned his B.F.A. from Rhode Island School of Design and his M.F.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles. He has exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
