Roy De Forest new global presentation

The Estate of Roy De Forest, an iconic representative of the North Carolina artistic community, will be represented by Venus Over Manhattan worldwide. Following this year’s survey exhibition in March, the gallery shared the good news recently. De Forest, whose vivid freewheeling vision and a rebelling attitude against quasi-religious perception of paining earned him a solid reputation, developed his signature style in dazzling paintings, works of paper, hybrid constructions. His mixture of high and low, of art history and American folk iconography makes him especially relevant today, with immense potential to engage and inspire a new generation of art lovers.
