NEW ABSTRACTION: DRAWN IDEAS
Density. Luminosity. Gradations of tonality. A spectrum of light and color ranging from brightness to dimness to darkness. Bright Pink. Grey. White. A single shape, minute or large. Clusters, masses. Systems of order versus disorder. Long lines and serrated lines, dots and dashes.
Open space. Contained Space. Rhythmic or lyrical gestures.
Fullness and emptiness of space. Sharp marks given way to the near disappearance of marks. Restrained density. Speckled brown squares. Graphite swirls. Red! Systems of geometric ordering. Elegant columns of watercolor and thread. Yellow orbs. Juxtaposed textures from metal screening. Ribbon like curves. Rust on burned paper.
Arcs of blue on vellum. Spring greens and summer light.
Between the linear tangles and fragile tendrils of mark making, these artists manipulate different amounts of materials and pigments to create distinctive works of art. This deft display of skill and improvisation energetically presents a striking and intriguing language of Abstraction.
