NYAB Event - Paul Thomas "Heaven"

Paul Thomas "Heaven"

Galerie Protégé

This event has ended.

Galerie Protégé presents Heaven, the second solo exhibition for artist Paul Thomas at the gallery, a year after his unprecedented and nearly sold out show. Unabashedly beautiful in appearance, Thomas’ work is a celebration of the full chromatic expanse and a visual meditation on the pictorial handling of space and color. His work is rooted in the style of Abstract masters like Paul Jenkins and Helen Frankenthaler—artists he contemplates with every application of paint.

Thomas conceives abstract works on canvas and paper with a primary interest in exploring the relationship between color, form and spatial differentiation. Using thin washes of acrylic pigments against white grounds, the artist renders compositions reminiscent of flowing, translucent fabrics of many brilliant colors that capture and refract light. Both gentle and resonant, the works draw the viewer into the world of their internal play and irresolute meanings. Thomas has established an organic yet sophisticated system of surface dynamics, spatial ambiguities and lush color harmonies that evoke a sense of transient, atmospheric, and compositional structure.

Paul Thomas was born in the United States, in 1958, and studied at the Arts Student’s League in New York. His work is in various private and public collections, some of note are; the Federation CJA, Montreal, Canada, The Medici Group, NY, NY, McKinsey and Company, London, England, Langone NYU Medical Center, NY, NY, and the International Furnishings and Design Association, NY, NY. Galerie Protégé is also very excited to announce that Heaven by Paul Thomas is scheduled to be exhibited at the Royal Palace in Ravenna, Italy later this summer.
