Phase & Shifting: Gray

Phase & Shifting: Gray features Ruth Pastine’s nearly monochromatic paintings that engage the square and vertical canvas formats in serial installations of diptychs, triptychs, and multiple panel orchestrations. Pastine’s minimalist works address phenomena of color perception and emphasize the viewer’s encounter with the paintings. Unique to her oeuvre, Pastine explores the nuance of gray through seamless gradients composed with the admixtures of complementary hues that investigate subtle shifts of light and spatial interplay within the perceptual continuum.
