Join us on Saturday, January 20 from 4 to 6 pm for the opening reception of Continuum, featuring new work from Coco Berkman, Joe Keinberger, Lindsey Kocur, Tanya Hayes Lee, Kenji Nakayama, Shannon Slattery and Dorothea Van Camp.
Composing a painting that consists of multiples, such as a diptych, presents a unique set of challenges for an artist. Unlike other works in series, paintings in a diptych must be in direct conversation with each other to function as a single piece of art. While the artist must consider what the work communicates as a whole, it is equally important that the component paintings present a strong individual identity. If the paintings contain a narrative, how is it divided over multiple canvases? If the work is abstract, what visual components are carried through each part of the work to make a coherent ensemble? Seven artists take these questions head-on in our exhibition Continuum. Playing with scale, orientation and the number of segments, the artists of Continuum demonstrate the exciting possibilities of working in multiples.
