Myth and Math, on view at 293 Tenth Avenue from October 30 to December 23, 2014. This is the artist’s third exhibition with Paul Kasmin Gallery, following SIX and Saint Clair Cemin On Broadway, both in 2012.
The exhibition marks a further development in Cemin’s pluralistic expanse of work that is both visceral and formal. With his new series, the artist continues to push the boundaries of shape and line, manipulating perspective, and uniting disparate materials and themes within individual sculptures. The seemingly ordered chaos and harnessed movement are indicative of Cemin’s constellation of paradoxical objects. As Cemin states, “I made my work a meeting place for all opposites.”

Simultaneously, an exploration of the rigor of geometry is also entrenched in Cemin’s sculpture. For him, the changeless purity of platonic forms provides a structure through which to illustrate the subconscious, itself disorderly and irrational. Cemin’s personal mythology, articulated through a diverse array of media, shapes, and scales, simultaneously pays homage to structure and embraces the inherent complexity of forms, which change and mutate ceaselessly.

“William Blake said that “Eternity is in love with the Productions of Time,” but, I believe that the Productions of Time are also in love with Eternity, and the result is Myth,” explains Cemin. “Myth and Math is a continuation of this thought that has been the guiding line of my work. Forms come out of Chaos. They represent order but they bring Chaos within themselves, then to it they return.”

Sculptures such as Athina and Cherub refer directly to mythological figures, products of a different time that have been made eternal through storytelling and art. Love and Mathematics explicitly combines the emotional and the rational, two seemingly contrasting concepts which Cemin is able to jointly explore with his chosen artistic medium. A de Amor takes the letter “A” and twists it beyond recognition, simultaneously destroying its meaning and creating a new interpretation for an old symbol.
