NYAB Event - Colleen Randall "Intimations"

Colleen Randall "Intimations"

The Painting Center

This event has ended.

Colleen Randall is an abstract painter whose work explores space and light through the materiality of paint.
In her work she seeks to investigate elusive states of consciousness through multi-layered depictions of form.
In 2008 she was awarded a Whiting Fellowship to travel to Italy to study ancient Roman wall painting, which
provided the inspiration for a body of paintings completed over the last four years. This exhibition traces the
journey of her work from the monochromatic Livia’s Walls to the recent Intimations paintings whose radiant
color intimates the inner light at the core of all being. Colleen Randall received her MFA in Painting from
Queens College, City University of New York. A Professor in the Studio Art Department at Dartmouth
College since 1989, she is the recipient of the National Academy of Design’s Edwin Palmer Memorial Award
for Painting, a Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation Fellowship Grant and an Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation Research Grant. She has been selected for artist residencies at Yaddo, The MacDowell Colony,
Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Millay Colony and Landfall Trust in Brigus, Newfoundland. She has
had solo exhibitions at commercial galleries and alternative spaces throughout the country, including Spheris
Gallery, Kenkelaba Gallery, and The Painting Center in New York; Ober Gallery in Kent, CT; Elliot Smith
Gallery in St. Louis; and Susan Conway Gallery in Washington, D.C. She has been a visiting artist at the
Anderson Ranch, Vermont Studio Center, University of New Hampshire, Binghamton University, Haverford
College, American University, Delaware College of Art & Design, Art Institute of Boston, Swarthmore
College, and the Caumsett Summer Painting Program as well as numerous other universities, art institutions
and colleges.
