Martin Kline: white

On View: October 5 - November 3, 2018
Reception: Friday, October 5, 6 – 8pm

“I’m using the color white in a more traditional sense. It’s a color that is pure and neutral but the built-up surfaces create shadows, and these shadows add color, depending on the source and direction of light. The writer Linda Norden said that shadow was my métier. Shadow as a medium? I’ve also used the color silver in a stainless steel sculpture and encaustic paintings to reflect light. Some of these paintings aren’t pure white but approximate the luminosity and sensation of the color. In the case of cast bronze sculpture, the white patina may be a thin wash or more opaque” - Martin Kline
