He’s Kind of Dark

Goth-darling Banks Violette is back in New York with a slew of new pieces, which can be seen through August 17th at both Gladstone Gallery in Chelsea and Team Gallery in Soho. This collaborative exhibition will debut large scale installations of steel, salt, fabric and light, and is a continuation of his pairing with Stephen O’Malley of the drone metal band, Sunn O))). A soundtrack will accompany Violette’s new ghostly minimalist works, leaving viewers to contemplate the blurring between fantasy and reality; in other words, this is definitely an artist whose work you need to see in person!
