Charles Seliger "Ways of Nature"
Michael Rosenfeld Gallery
This event has ended.
Charles Seliger's ninth solo exhibition at the gallery, "Ways of Nature," includes nineteen paintings on Masonite completed between 2006 and 2008. The artist’s newest works are all dense, small-scale, organic abstractions that celebrate the structural complexities of natural forms— both real and imagined. In the accompanying exhibition catalogue, Michelle DuBois writes, "In each and every painting, he represents and enacts the struggle for control between chaos and order as it occurs in nature, and as it unfolds in the creative process he personally undergoes when creating a painting. Charles Seliger’s paintings about what lies below or beyond the visible in nature are fundamentally about the nature of his own subjectivity and creative process."
