"New York-based Max Gimblett was amazingly productive during the past three years of pandemic-related quarantine, so much so that the 18 paintings presented in this exhibition titled The Beginning of Time, are only a portion of a larger body of related works being unveiled over the course of three overlapping installations. The second, subtitled Spring into Summer, represents the latest iteration of this still-evolving show. Among many things, the 87-year-old artist is a Buddhist monk of the Rinzai school, the oldest of the three branches of Japanese Zen, suggesting that the different versions of this exhibition allude to the transitory nature of experience shaped by the notions of impermanence and non-attachment."
