Leo Valledor: Color as Space

May 01, 2018 - May 08, 2018
WhiteBox is pleased to announce the upcoming presentation, Leo Valledor: Color As Space, a solo presentation of the artist鈥檚 work as part of the Frieze New York art fair 2018 VIP program, organized in collaboration with David Richard Gallery. Leo Valledor (1936-1989), originally from San Francisco, was a founding member of Park Place Gallery in Lower Manhattan in the 1960s. He explored shaped canvases, reductive color palettes and multi-component canvases to create the illusion of three-dimensional shapes in a two-dimensional picture plane.


Color As Space explores Valledor鈥檚 interest in using bold colors with curvilinear and circular shapes to explore space in the two-dimensional picture plane. The paintings in this presentation are all from the 1980s, primarily single-panel compositions of moderate to smaller size. Though Valledor is known for much larger and multi-component compositions, it is illuminating to see how he successfully applied torque and created tension on a moderate scale to explore three-dimensional space while confined to a two-dimensional plane.
