This event has ended.

Harry C. Doolittle’s paintings are an exploration of language with a deeper focus on the complementary dialogue between content, the space of the exhibition, and the perceptual process. Displacement, sequences, stratification, viscosity, morphological and semantic registers are the elements with which he explores these notions. Seeing reproductions of the luminescent, brightly hued abstract assemblage paintings by Harry C. Doolittle does not do these images justice. It is only when standing before these intricately incised and subtly rendered creations that their true radiance can fully emanate. In fact, it is Doolittle’s unique approach and process that gets lost in the reproduction, the results of which can only be viewed up close, when the painting truly comes to life before the viewer. This exhibition offers viewers the chance to truly experience a unique artist and his work in person.

No stranger to the art world, or his predecessors—including Piet Mondrian and Joseph Albers—Doolittle expands and improvises on the modernist vocabulary of abstraction using his own distinctive voice. Self-trained, the artist instinctually works automatically, employing his dreams as a rich source of vivid imagery and vibrant color. The results of this innovative and spontaneous process are kaleidoscopic bejeweled surfaces that evidence his idiosyncratic compositional strategies and sense of design.
