Opa Projects is pleased to present In Three Movements, a trio exhibition featuring Douglas Kneese, Murray Clarke, and Emma Stone Johnson. Structured as a sequence of distinct presentations, the exhibition unfolds across three spaces, each dedicated to a single artist. Rather than establishing a direct dialogue, the show emphasizes progression, allowing each practice to be experienced on its own terms while contributing to a larger rhythm.
Kneese’s paintings foreground physicality and gesture, building dense surfaces where fragments of imagery emerge within a field of movement. Clarke’s work shifts the focus toward precision, presenting hyperreal depictions of garments that oscillate between familiarity and distance. Johnson’s paintings offer a more atmospheric experience, unfolding as immersive environments that resist fixed interpretation.
Together, these three approaches form a progression of visual and perceptual experiences. Each movement introduces a distinct tempo, material language, and way of engaging the viewer.
In Three Movements will be on view at Opa Projects this May 28th.
