"White on White" Exhibition
Cindy Rucker Gallery
This event has ended.
a group show organized around the color white. From a blank piece of paper and a glass of milk, bathroom tissue and Fruit of the Looms to porcelain vases and newly fallen snow, white permeates our lives. However, the notion of white art seems somewhat familiar yet a bit anomalous. To many, it brings to mind the history of achromatic abstract paintings, denying subjective representation such as Malevich's Suprematist Composition: White on White or Philip Guston's White Painting or Robert Ryman's various permutations of all-white canvases.
This tradition has since been morphing: instead of eliminating illusion and representation to focus on the fundamental properties of the materials, these six artists utilize the characteristic of the white medium to achieve a wide range of narratives investigating the nature of appearances and exploring the ambiguous traces of life and illusion.
