poster for Doug Ohlson “Panel Paintings from the 1960s”

This event has ended.

…Doug Ohlson paintings are a dialogue between constructed and painted geometric elements…Like some other painters working with color relationships, Ohlson’s approach is intuitive, not theoretical; he has never formally studied color theory. If Ohlson’s work were compared with that of any formalist color painter; it would be Ad Reinhardt, not Josef Albers, who would come to mind; as in Reinhardt’s early ‘50s paintings, in which geometric elements in cool colors vibrate against a field. Like Reinhardt’s paintings, Ohlson’s work often appears brooding or, as Ohlson himself said, “Northern” in feeling.
