黑料不打烊

Cristin Tierney Gallery is pleased to present Themes and Variations, featuring new and recent work by Elise Ferguson, Mark Sengbusch, and Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins. The exhibition opens Thursday, November 3rd, with a reception from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. The artists will be present at the opening. Themes and Variations ends Saturday, December 17th.

This exhibition highlights work by artists influenced by the history and strategies of design. Their practices exhibit a devotion to research and technology, complemented by an economy of form and command of materials. In Themes and Variations, the artists鈥� experimental approaches have been channeled into a spirited body of abstract paintings and sculptures marked by repetitive forms and suggestive palettes.

Collaborative duo Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins present abstract paintings based on color studies. Their precise compositions of gridded squares and rectangles are created from complex formulas the artists have devised using 21st-century color theory. The painting For Ad, named after Ad Reinhardt, features perception-altering fields of varying shades of red and oranges similar to the renowned Minimalist artist鈥檚 work. Although the paintings are created by hand, their surfaces are completely smooth, empty of visible brushstrokes or signs of the artists鈥� touch. The degree of perfection in their finish is a testament to the artists鈥� rigorous process of testing and design.
