Matthew Lutz-Kinoy invokes the legacy of early 20th-century ballet (Tamara Karsavina was a star of the Ballets Russes) and wraps it in his lush painterly lexicon: vibrant color, orchestrated motion, costume-like flourishes, and evocative surface detail. The work suggests metamorphosis (the “molten” becoming), performance, and the synergy of costume and body, stage and canvas.
