This event has ended.

Judith Charles Gallery presents the gallery’s debut exhibition with Henry Mandell. The exhibition titled weightless is the most comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work to date.

Trained as a traditional painter and printmaker, Mandell uses computers and software to build elegant abstract paintings. His works are digitally painted by hand and are composed of thousands of words and data from scientific and literary texts. Mandell’s process is exacting: each colored line is a separate letter, which has been pulled, stretched and altered in vector space one at a time. From idea – computer – HTML code – vector space – transformation – the resulting paintings are meticulously crafted and arrestingly beautiful. They are full of energy and intuitively convey the essence of the text embedded within the lines.

In tandem with his text-based paintings, the exhibition also features works comprised of simple shapes and patterns drawn into complex harmonic concerts further displaying Mandell’s acute eye for color and texture – a strength the artist attributes to his extensive research on Mark Rothko while establishing a digital archive of the artist’s work for the Estate of Mark Rothko.
