EQUIVALENCE: RED GREEN & YELLOW MAGENTA
Equivalence: Red Green & Yellow Magenta features Ruth Pastine’s nearly monochromatic paintings that engage the Suprematist square to explore color and light within saturated and subtle hues. Pastine advances her minimalist through rigorous formal systems composed with admixtures of opposing complementary hues. In optically seamless gradients, built up with countless small brushstrokes, the surfaces appear to pulse towards the edges of the canvas periphery with an inner luminosity. Challenging our preconceptions, Pastine investigates the immateriality of matter, the subtle character and nuance of color, and the ethereality of light. Pastine reveals a sensual surface in contrast to an optically dematerialized occurrence, further questioning the perceptual experience and redefines the visual field.
