Working with a wide array
of materials, everything from photos, string, sewing,
paint, wood paper, time, mirrors, light and
space, Oakland based artist Chris Duncan mines questions
of optics, geometric abstraction, colour theory, and dynamic patterning, along with a variety
of materials to ponder ideas such as perception and balance, in both
conceptual and physical forms.
Lozano's abstract
paintings, reaching a peak

In 1964, at Galleria Sperone in Turin, he showed the body

In today's museum world, where competition for exhibition
space is escalating, emptying two large rooms,
painting them black, and then posting a text instructing the viewer on how to perceive a black
painting is an ambitious

paintings between 1945 and 1965.
Deborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion
of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists worldwide, whose diverse practices include

What this has meant for Stella is that not only has he expanded upon his own historicized work
of the late»50s through the»70s — work that turned abstract
painting into «a thing in the world» rather than pictures or signs
of thoughts or emotions — but that he also opened for himself a new
conceptual and visual
space.
From Instructions, his 1989 guide to
painting do - it - yourself «Stingels» — perhaps a satirical reaction to ego - fuelled 1980s
painting — to his orange carpets that, from 1991 to the present day, have stretched over the floors and walls
of viewing
spaces like an industrial version
of color field
painting, Stingel has sought to strike a balance between
conceptual rigor and the retinal sensuality
of painting, between detachment and participation, even between decorativeness and mental purity.
Corse was included in three significant historical group exhibitions tracing the history
of Los Angeles

If Stella's call for a new sense
of space tends too quickly towards a literal - minded interpretation, the problem with Peter Halley's Neo-Geo abstraction was that it moved
painting into a philosophical, theoretical, and technological /
conceptual space which was literal or literalizing in its very own way (e.g., as geometric abstractions came to serve as the pictorial ««models»
of intellectual concepts»).
