Zak Prekop’s use of whites and pale greens in this untitled painting evokes the meditative works by Masters like Agnes Martin and Robert Ryman. Prekop's subtle gradations of color invite slow, close looking, offering a metaphor for nuance and quiet complexity. Prekop holds an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has had solo shows at places like Maxwell Graham Gallery, Galería Marta Cervera, and Shane Campbell Gallery. He is in the collections of the Walker Art Center, the Columbus Museum of Art, and MoMA, among others. The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum opens a major solo show of his work this June.
