VELOCITY is an exhibition of selected works by New York painter Larry Poons, opening with a reception for the artist from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. on Friday August 19, at The Sam & Adele Golden Gallery (The SAGG) at Golden Artist Colors, Inc., 188 Bell Road, New Berlin, NY. The exhibition continues through November 19, 2011.

The long walls and unimpeded views at The SAGG have allowed for several of Poons's large-scale works to be included in the exhibition. VELOCITY features paintings created between 1975 and 2009.

Poons has exhibited his paintings around the world in museums and commercial galleries for more than five decades. During his long painting experience, Poons has been unafraid to engage issues of monumental scale and vigorous paint applications for his expressive purpose. He has undergone stylistic transformations that turned away from identifiable signature painting methods and plunged directly into radically different approaches to satisfy his own needs for forward motion.
