Frank Olt "Selected Works"

This event has ended.
At Tria Gallery
Media: Painting, Other, Ceramics

Tria Gallery presents selected works by Frank Olt's abstract works that cross over between a variety of media and unusual processes encompassing elements in linen, wood, ceramic, linen, encaustic, and oil. Aspects of wrapping, built out from finely constructed surfaces, ingeniously worked through repeated applications, scrapings, abrasions, and re-applications of pigment, define an oeuvre which is without direct comparison. The aesthetic sources are rooted in a love for abstract traditions of the New York School.

Olt works both in ceramic, which was his initial emphasis, and painting, and sustaining a wide-ranging body of work that infuses both each media with aspects of the other, introducing an array of unexpected possibilities. The uniting thread is the recurrent use of heat, be it the firing of glazed components, or the hot wax used in encaustic. Time too is a constant, since the results arise out of repeated engagement and the tension produced by the imbedding, or removal, of underlying imagery.
