The Catskills
6 May – 4 June 2021
We are happy to present Joe Andoe’s (1955, Tulsa) new show at the gallery.
“It takes a distance of a 100 miles and a time of 2.5 hours drive to be on the right road to that something that explains nothing. Where in its silence no misunderstandings happen, nor in its stillness the unalterable will be altered. That something resides at a height of 3500 ft above sea level north of NYC, and a speed of 60 miles per hour is needed to initiate a ceremony of separating oneself from all what halts or hastens the existence.
Once you are at the Catskills, you will hear the murmuring of the colors blue, white and green. You will see what words look like.
It doesn’t matter what season it is or what the temperature is. That something is eternally there. This blissful way of being can not be maintained, but only remembered when one looks at what Joe Andoe has witnessed and documented in his Catskills paintings.”
