Michael Kagan's latest exhibition 'Downforce' at Pace Prints represents a significant shift in his artistic approach, moving from traditional painting to collage. The exhibition features 16 new works that interweave Formula One racing with an exploration of human ambition and emotional narratives. Kagan employs layering techniques with monoprints to capture the dynamic essence of high-speed performance, making the artwork feel both immediate and raw. The title embodies a dual meaning, reflecting both the mechanics of racing and the intense pressures athletes face, thus deepening the exhibition's thematic resonance.
With Downforce, Kagan ventures into collage, using layered monoprints built through a tactile process of dragging ink with brushes and squeegees, creating an immediate, raw energy.
The title, Downforce, signifies both an aerodynamic principle essential for racing performance and a metaphor for the pressures athletes face, enhancing the exhibition's depth.
