Dive into the surprising "Daydream" of artist Josh Sperling's new exhibition of shaped paintings that span all three floors of Perrotin gallery in New York.

Artist Josh Sperling?s current exhibition of shaped paintings is on view at Perrotin in New York. Open through June 11th, ?Daydream? pushes the possibilities of precision, color, and curiosity through multiple series of joyful works.
Josh Sperling paintings on canvas combine an obsession for color selection with the precision of a CNC router. Each painting feels too perfect to be human but too human to be a computer. All colors are chosen by eye under the natural light of Sperling’s barn in Ithica, New York. Beyond the magic of each individual work, the entire exhibition is perfectly ordered across three floors for a total visual experience worth visiting in real life. To Be Titled, 2022
Measuring over 57-feet across, the looping red ?To Be Titled, 2022? anchors the first floor. The expansive room holds multiple monochrome works with forms that seem to defy the properties of canvas. Like mathematical knots that overlap and loop endlessly, the first room invites you to leave your preconceptions of painting at the door.
