This event has ended.

The Painting Center present Signals that Gather. Signals that Gather examines the legacy of Modern/Postmodern abstraction in the work of four artists: George Schroeder, Nancy Seibert, Bridget O’Donnell, and Jack McWhorter. The artists represent three generations with a combined art experience ranging from Modernism, embracing essential qualities of color and flatness to Postmodernism, a paradigm shift opening the door to a pluralism of form, technique and reference. The works in this exhibition range from simple impulses and then build towards pictures that express thoughts, feelings and invisible forces. In keeping with the legacy of abstraction these artists are interested in realizing their creative intentions through the elements of painting - shape, color, line, and what they can do to imply movement, balance, pressure, rhythm- to be fully expressive without overt subject or narrative. The simplification or abréviation of source images allows for visual inconsistencies to emerge. It is these discrepancies that engage and connect this group of artists and is their entry point into abstraction. A series of related signs or signals disperses over the surface of the canvas and marks off certain distances toward a resolution of different types of visual information intersected by color. Additionally, these artists share an interest in how the properties of oil, acrylic, latex and mediums transform and reinvent their source material. Every pigment is a chemical and triggers a chemical response.
