poster for Robert Ludwig "Recent Drawings & Paintings"

This event has ended.

Gallery 307 presents the opening of Recent Drawings and Paintings by Robert Ludwig.

Ludwig creates work using horizontal and vertical lines to create simple geometric divisions. Utilizing charcoal, paint, pastels and graphite, these divisions are then filled with a rich and subtle monochromatic color. The geometric format, combined with tonal and spatial interplay, and the vigorous hand of the artist create an optical ambiguity between the open and closed space. Ludwig’s work engages the viewer in this delicate visual balance.

Robert Ludwig grew up in Washington, DC and has lived in New York for most of his life. He studied physics at The George Washington University and did graduate work at Princeton University before deciding to become a painter.
