F.U.E.L Collection in Philadelphia presents "Parris New York Philadelphia" curated by Katerina Leydon-Warner from November 30, 2007 to January 6, 2008. The works of Kenneth E. Parris III are at once whimsical and melancholy. Conceptual pieces range from winged school chairs to nails in bibles, and are reminiscent of Joseph Kosuth perhaps both in their aesthetic as well as their irony. Departing from pure conceptual fabrications are his representational paintings which create a masterful tension between the objects and the subtext underlying their compositions. This dialogue inspired the selection of works presented in Parris, New York, Philadelphia. Artists were chosen from the FUEL submission pool and White Columns gallery in New York. Included in the exhibition is Doug Kinsey who has been a Premiere Portfolio Member since 2002.

Large scale expressionist abstracts are displayed along with a life size portrait of Ross Bleckner. Large minimalist process paintings against elegant life size nudes. The representational works create a delicate counterpoint to the urgency and immediacy of the abstract work. This conversation is Parris, New York, Philadelphia. Artists include: Paul Fabozzi, Andrew Wrigley, Shelley Loheed, Nicole Koenitzer, Gigi Chen, Joyce Korotkin, John Petro, Holly & Ashlee Temple, Peter Owen, Doug Kinsey, Centa Petersen and Austin Lee.

Doug Kinsey's 14 recent pieces on canvas and large format charcoal work were selected for the exhibition.
