My work
\nfrom the past year is largely horizontal. On a bisected field (square or vertically rectangular) there are bands
\nof color on the top half over a more or less monochromatic bottom half. I call
\nthe series <\/span>Tutto<\/i> because in it I have painted in encaustic, my mainstay
\nmedium for the past 30 years, as well as acrylic, oil, and oil pastel. In other
\nwords, everything. (<\/span>Tutto<\/i> is Italian for everything.) Also, for me color
\nis everything, the simpler the composition, the better.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

View from Newbury Street in Boston, where my solo, Tutto, <\/i>is up through November 29 at Arden Gallery<\/p>\n

\n

In the past few months I have shown, or am showing, Tutto <\/i>paintings\u00a0<\/i>in several venues. In this post are installation shots from Arden Gallery in Boston, where
\nmy solo, the eponymous Tutto,<\/i> is up through November 29; a little teaser
\nfrom Radical Chrome<\/i> at Kenise Barnes Fine Art in Kent, Connecticut,
\nwhere I am part of a five-artist show that focuses on, yes, color (I\u2019ll soon have
\na full-length post on that show, which is up for a long stretch); and Pique<\/i>,
\na group show that opened the season at Marcia Wood Gallery in Atlanta in September.<\/p>\n

If you are
\nfamiliar with my work, you’ll see that the later paintings in the\u00a0Silk Road<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/i>series
\nfeature the same horizontally banded and bisected field. Transitions are
\ninteresting as one idea morphs into another.\u00a0Tutto<\/i>\u00a0continues the bisected field while\u00a0Silk Road\u00a0<\/i>will
\ndouble back and resume its identity as a series of color fields (I’m not finished with that series yet!).\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
