ARTIST BIO
Larry Silver was born in Boston in 1952 and received his BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in 1975. Silver moved to New York in the mid-1970s, settling first in SoHo during a particularly vital period of artistic experimentation. Later in the East Village, he became a founding member of Painting Space 122 and has maintained the same studio since 1979. His early geometric paintings drew on the newly built World Trade Center as a visual source and evolved toward a more symbolic expressionism while remaining fundamentally abstract. Throughout his career, Silver has remained committed to abstraction as a means of exploring perception, memory, and the nature of painting itself. His extensive travels and sustained study of early Italian Renaissance painting have further informed his understanding of structure, light, and pictorial space.
His work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions in national and international venues. Amongst them are:
