Working across a wide array of media, from abstract painting to installation to filmmaking, Sanford Wurmfeld has exhaustively investigated the subject of color for more than fifty years through its essential qualities of hue, value, and saturation. Color and line appear immaterial, filling the viewer with a tremendous sense of aliveness. The resulting paintings present a barrage of visual information that moves color and form in and out of sequence and symmetry causing the eye to move through undulating, pulsating spaces. Evertz’s paintings interweave perfectly plumb, vertical stripes with lines that taper as they reach the top and bottom edges of the canvas, which are nearly impossible to perceive. Her paintings continue to employ and expand upon her singular color system of twelve highly-saturated hues, which she juxtaposes against an extensive array of light to dark gray values and metallic pigments. In her new paintings, she applies color in spontaneously conceived sequences made in real time at the very moment of painting. The exhibition will present new works by two revolutionary New York City-based abstract color painters.įor three decades, Gabriele Evertz has examined the “pioneering problem of color” and its transformative effect on the viewer. Minus Space is excited to announce the two-person exhibition Gabriele Evertz / Sanford Wurmfeld: Polychromy.
