NEW YORK, NY
.- The remarkable creativity of protean American painter Doug Argue is brought vividly to life in Doug Argue: Letters to the Future. Words and images explore, explain and contextualize Argues trajectory from art-school rebel to celebrated, much-exhibited artist on a global stage.
With a colossal curiosity and tireless dedication to his solitary studio practice, Argue stands as a thinker-painter admired by a growing circle of curators and collectors. His work has been shown in museums and galleries from New York (where three large paintings are on permanent view at One World Trade Center) to Sydney and from Vienna to Venice. His often giant canvases shed virtuosic light
