Bruno David Gallery: Friday, 30 November 2012
BLUE – WHITE – RED
Opening Reception: Friday, November 30th, 2012, from 5 to 9 pm
November 30, 2012 – January 19, 2013
The Bruno David Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition, titled, Blue – White – Red, on view from November 30, 2012 to January 19, 2013. In the upcoming exhibition, the artists return to the very essence of the three colors and investigate how they interact with surrounding space. A wide range of media is explored, including painting, sculpture, and video. The limited palette provides a constant that amplifies the artists’ individual styles.
Throughout history, humans have placed varying significance on color. Colors evoke memories, dispel fears, stimulate the appetite, suggest worth. They scream for attention, converse amiably, whisper between cupped palms pressed against an ear. Across cultures, times, and specific situations, the meaning and purpose of color is constantly changing.
Blue, white, and red—in America, this trio is inescapably political. Yet, when broken apart, each color has individual connotations steeped in years of use. Blue – White – Red attempts to step away from these groupings entirely. The artists worked separately; it is not the exhibition’s aim to have unifying undertones, political or otherwise. Instead, viewers are encouraged to look at the artworks afresh and investigate how the altered surfaces reflect, absorb, and distribute light. A catalogue, BLUE – WHITE – RED, with a new text by Nicole Yen will be published on the occasion of the exhibition.
The exhibition includes works by Margaret Adams, Todd Anderson, Laura Beard, Dickson Beall, Lisa Blatt, Martin Brief, Bunny Burson, Carmon Colangelo, Alex Couwenberg, Jill Downen, Yvette Dubinsky, Eleanor Dubinsky, Beverly Fishman, Damon Freed, William Griffin, Joan Hall, Kim Humphries, Kelley Johnson, Chris Kahler, Leslie Laskey, Sandra Marchewa, Peter Marcus, Charles van McElwee, Genell Miller, William Morris, Patricia Olynyk, Gary Passanise, Robert Pettus, Judy Pfaff, Daniel Raedeke, Charles P. Reay, Chris Rubin de la Borbolla, Cherie Sampson, Charles Schwall, Christina Shmigel, Frank Schwaiger, Shane Simmons, Thomas Sleet, Buzz Spector, Danielle Spradley, Cindy Tower, Mario Trejo, Larry Torno, Brett Williams, Ken Worley and others.
