Arie A. Galles: Heartland II Reflected-Light Paintings

Monday through Friday through Jan. 6. 

Artist A. Galles works with light—the glowing radiation of fluorescent color, painted on a vertical armature of aluminum extrusions, reflected onto a white surface. Galles' images challenge the viewer's perceptions by simultaneously dividing the colors while heightening the color saturation of reflected light.  

This exhibition also includes a number of Galles' drawings and paintings. The iconography of the Reflected-Light paintings develops through a progression of color drawings in pencil, oil pastels and paint, works of art in their own right.  These culminate in full scale templates for the final works on aluminum extrusions.
