Exhibition at Heavy Brow gallery

“ZENITH NOON 
beats out
on its solar anvil
the rays of light
-Sonia Delaunay, The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology

Shown against a backdrop of walls painted a color that could be described as “the last yellow before orange,” these paintings and video engage a language of geometric abstraction that can be seen through the lens of landscape, as a diurnal sky space.

Set to the intensity of a yellow-orange gallery, “Solar Anvil” is an experiment that tests this color against Heavy Brow’s tiny, idiosyncratic space, while nesting discrete works within the gallery walls. The works in this exhibition are intended to act as crystallized fragments of daytime, and to always return to the referent of the sun, no matter what other constellation of suggestions may be provoked.
