Carol Ross "Paintings 1988-90"
Janos Gat Gallery
This event has ended.
The abstract becomes tangible in nine large-scale canvases and ten preparatory drawings from the years when Carol Ross, this most uncompromising of New York artists, made the transition from painting structures of delicate geometry to sculpting objects of weight and substance.
The methodical variations and chromatic juxtapositions of Ross's multi-panel paintings reinvent the late-modernist tradition of the shaped canvas. Probing the atmospheric capacities of color to transform space, Ross creates rhythmic sequences of geometric forms that layered, project into space as if in relief. This spatial extension is achieved also through the frequent application of diagonals that, despite the apparent symmetry of the works, suggest an overriding sensation of movement.
