Matthew Langley and Soojung Park: Vibrant Duet
Helen J Gallery is pleased to present Vibrant Duet, an exhibition of large-scale color field paintings by New York-based artist Matthew Langley and pigment-saturated plexiglass works by Los Angeles-based artist Soojung Park. This marks the first presentation for both artists at the gallery.
Langley鈥檚 paintings, characterized by vertical lines or circular abstractions, stem from his intuitive approach to developing color palettes. This exploration of color is the primary focus of Langley鈥檚 work, brought to life through a wet-on-wet technique that reveals thin layers of acrylic pigment akin to a developing story. Langley's process resembles the improvisation of a jazz musician, offering a captivating insight into the artist鈥檚 creation process.
Park works on plexiglass and other cast acrylic forms, casting layers of ink pigment onto etched and buffed surfaces. Each line of pigment represents a unique emotive state, reflecting the artist鈥檚 profound emotional depth. Park鈥檚 process involves both painting and un-painting, as pigments are rubbed away or layered over during the artist鈥檚 revisits. These dynamic, translucent quadrangles are meditative objects that demonstrate the artist鈥檚 patience and perception.
