“Color Formed” Exhibition

This event has ended.
Rachel Beach
My works begin with something elemental - a basic geometry, a basic construction: a stack, an edge, a mark, the seam where two things meet. Each piece employs real and implied structure — form and surface, object and image — to create a shifting perceptual experience. Built around concepts of solid and void, construct and language, progress and extinction, the works merge archeological and architectural influences with spatial and formal investigations.
Tom Doyle
I use color to define weight. A larger heavier form is usually a darker color which might pull against a lighter balancing form. The contrasting colors emphasizes or reinforces the weights and tensions between the elements.
Carol Salmonson
I started working with light and reflective materials in 2003 to take the spatial and color concerns of my painting into a different realm. Light’s unique ability to touch both mind and feelings yields a sensation of depth, one that opens into mysterious worlds.
Don Porcaro
My work has always been inspired by man’s imprint on nature, where the realm of constructed objects intersects with the order of the natural world. These pieces could be tools, toys, household or farm implements, ancient reliquaries or contemporary machines. They are familiar forms that nevertheless elude precise function and definition, laden with the memory of recent activity or pregnant with possibilities of the yet unknown.
John Monti
Visual pleasure, optimism and beauty, ignited by the hybridization of color and form; ready to take a trip.
Rachel Urkowitz
My work experiments with edges, fragments, and how objects are grouped in order to explore issues of wholeness, unity, and organicism central to conceptions of landscape, nature, and how humans construct these categories within different cultural frameworks. I engage questions of utopia and melancholy, perception and memory, and draw on artists across a historical spectrum, including Bosch, Hiroshige, Robert Smithson and Lygia Clark. My work questions the models of closure and formal paradigms that define different ideas of landscape, and by extension, artistic production. Recent work has explored ideas about the weather, mining representations of terrible beauty in the form of “natural” catastrophes including global warming (the Ozone Hole and its satellite images), inundation, and objects falling from the sky.
