James Busby "White and Black: New Minimal Paintings"
57 STUX + HALLER Gallery
This event has ended.
In these paintings, Busby extends the innovative technique of his previous White series,
which involved carefully building up the surface of the work with layers of gesso, which are then sanded
down, polished, and given sculptural dimension. The abstraction of these works has often been linked to
certain effects of Russian Constructivism or Suprematism. In the new White and Black series, he adds
powdered graphite to the surface of the formed gesso, extending the abstract qualities of the earlier work in a
deeper engagement with a new range of subtle surface effects and textures.
