Artist: Antone Könst

Each Modern presents Antone Könst: Subjects, the artist's third solo exhibition with the gallery.

Entering into Antone Könst’s practice, one should abandon symbolic terms or the burdens of figuration. The artist usually maneuvers in opposition to narrative or meaning, instead cultivating an ambient hum through formal tools. His painterly jurisdiction thus elicits a “room tone,” one deliberately built from recurrence, erasure, and idea surfing. A certain clarity persists across each pictorial execution, as Könst elides obfuscation in favor of the aforementioned “hum.” In developing this optical system, he seeks aesthetic patterns that establish a pervasive frequency.
