MAIN GALLERY: CHRISTOPH RUCKHÄBERLE THE MAUSOLEUM: PATRICK ALLEN NOV 17 - DEC 17, 2016 RECEPTION: THURS, NOV 17, 6 - 8 PM In his newest series of twenty - one works, Christoph Ruckhӓberle replaces oil paints with
dramatic contrasts rendered in high gloss enamel.
Much as O'Keeffe came to apply tight, photographic
rendering to the sublime emptiness of early, free - flowing watercolors like Light Coming on the Plains (1917), Hollowell brings high
contrast resolution to her cleanly fabricated forms, using
dramatic variations in dark and light to emphasize surface curvature and suggest deep space.
