Kuo’s chart paintings combine an appetite for data with a refined graphic sense and sneakily complex chromatic approach. They harness statistics in the cause of emotional exploration with a sports fan’s zealous response to stats, and present them as programmatic diagrams that make sly reference to the Modernist canon. In this sense, these works are not abstractions, but instead are crammed with complex information that is detailed in a key that sits at the bottom of the painting... As one might expect of our atomized media moment, Kuo is also a published writer and info-graphicist as well as a celebrated podcaster and social media presence. These seemingly disparate modes of output are, in fact, tentacles of an integrated network that makes up his practice. Taken together, they begin to formulate a picture of our culture seen through the lenses of athletics, race, politics music, art, design and the Internet.” - Excerpt from Broadway Gallery’s presentation of Andrew Kuo’s 2021 exhibition, 𝘞𝘒𝘡𝘦𝘳 π˜“π˜ͺ𝘭𝘭π˜ͺ𝘦𝘴. broadwaygallerynyc Assists: subwayjeans cookieshoops flowtradersus flowtraders_ flowtradersfoundation nycparks pancho_mx1 trueart19_ resoe_27 weigsworld sacredhoopsbook ellsworthjelly nyala.blue ralph_sunga21 jzzam_peterson madbasic #andrewkuo #lowereastside #nycbasketball #cookieshoops ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 0 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 4 ## Tags cookieshoops, lowereastside, andrewkuo, nycbasketball --- Copyright (c) Gondola
