Kevin Finklea: Things we said that were important but now forgotten
Painted Wooden Works

FEBRUARY 26 - APRIL 9, 2011

The joy in the color fields added to these smooth and sometimes almost imperceptively asymmetrical pieces ask you to revisit their form. What would these pieces of wood be without their accentuated and artificial divisions created by their saturated color fields? We don't even want to hazard a guess.

The unexpected shadows extend the forms and we find ourselves dancing with the pieces — moving back and forth across the room to engage each piece several times, experiencing the form and shadow from every vantage point.

Don't miss this work.
