About Healthcare…What’s Next and On Whose Dime?
Paul Kolker is pleased to present About Healthcare…. What’s Next and On Whose Dime? from September 12 through November 15, 2019 at the PAUL KOLKER collection, 511 West 25th Street in Chelsea…
Speak to Me…About Healthcare!
presents his sixth solo exhibition about healthcare since 2006, “Speak to Me…About Healthcare!” – opening at the Paul Kolker collection in Chelsea New York on February 27, 2014. Paintings and video infinity light sculptures provide the historical narrative for more than a century of US federal governmental healthcare reform as transformed by the artist, who is also a physician, lawyer and, at one time, director of a healthcare insurance company.
Gesundheit Reimagined!
The show’s title is derived from our “gesundheit” response to hearing a nearby person’s sneeze; a proclamation of our wishes for his good health. Kolker curates this exhibition, using his works as a projective psychological experiment, to test the viewer’s perception of imagery, cognition and understanding generated from the viewer’s reading Kolker’s text painted over an abstract or figural painting; or in viewing figural paintings without text…portraying our governmental health care leaders, legislators and justices, which we also perceive visually, but as Kolker’s aesthetic, yet graphic and painterly sign language.
