Nicholas Buffon at Callicoon Fine Arts

The synecdoche of Buffon's New York rendered for figures of action, hypothesizing the manipulation of reality by the god-hands that can create it, Buffon instead lists the minor changes he makes to the banal reality surrounding him, which comes off as tragic. A world that you can create and instead replicating the world around you, the indifference within it, its own heroism.

The world rendered in miniature, distant. The signs of the world arranged in a taxonomic grid. Prefiguring action of action figures, scenery in the play we project. MD -> NY, gallery direct. Painted with a teenage aestheticism, pizza handed in Guston gluttony, brushstrokes dragged like feet to get in the car. Distinct Joe Fig’s clever meta game of infinite cleanliness, instead touch rendered, Buffon’s empty streets, and human remnants find a sentimental blowing in the detritus, the world empty, ready for the world’s endless figurants. The facade of the gallery to imagine its inside, the inside everything out, synechode New York. I would like the police car action set please.
