______________________________ 

 

“… I was no longer working with black… but with the material of black, the surfaces of black… created a light… and this light is a secret light… a light that is not obvious… it was coming out of the black….”
—Pierre Soulages

BLACK is number six in the Art of the Real series shows I have curated for Space Gallery. Each show in this series manifests itself in the “non-objective”: art that is not representational, that contains no recognizable figures or objects, and art that has no intentional derivation from any concrete matter.

The work for BLACK was selected because each artist uses black, not as negative space, but as an opening from which to reveal what lies at the edge of vision.

Curated by: Marks Aardsma
Concept by: Sharon Swidler
