Clustered Paintings. The Texas artist's current work deals with clusters of acrylic painted canvases: some pieces juxtapose complimentary colors, others explore the nuances of monochrome.
Houston, TX – The Gallery Sonja Roesch is pleased to announce an exhibition featuring a remarkable body of work by Texas artist Myke Venable.
Myke Venable’s current work deals with clusters of acrylic painted canvases. Venable combines multiple canvases, creating opportunity for each composition to produce a unique energy. Reduced down to minimal materials, Venable is able to explore infinite possibilities. Some pieces juxtapose complimentary colors, others explore the nuances of monochrome.
For example, Alizarin Crimson/Red/Rose playfully describes the poetic qualities of red. The intense color saturation results from numerous layers of paint. The individual canvas hang on a diagonal creating a much more dynamic visual display. These simple yet lively groups resemble Tetris blocks poised in mid-air or molecules in the act of splitting or combining. Venable takes the basic building blocks of painting, shape and color, and rearranges them into surprising and delightful combinations.
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 4, 2011, 5 – 7 pm
