COLOR AND FORM

Tufenkian Fine Arts is pleased to announce, Color and Form, a group exhibition featuring artworks by Richard Bruland, Fatemeh Burnes, Tanner Goldbeck, Diane Holland, Moko Khachatryan, Astrid Preston, Alain Rogier, Ann Marie Rousseau, Ann Thornycroft, and Laurie Yehia.

Color and Form brings together a group of artists whose practices privilege the formal qualities of art-making when creating their distinct visual languages. The complex relationship between color and form offers the organizing principle for this exhibition, with artists grappling with the complexities of personal and communal identity through experimentations in tone, movement, texture, and geometry.

Astrid Preston approaches painting as a synthesis between representation and abstraction, with nature and landscape acting as the artist’s source of inspiration. For Preston, this fusion is sufficient to carry the full freight of emotion and spirituality. It also allows the artist to explore a wide gamut of painterly possibilities: the coexistence of flat space with texture and pixilation; using line, geometry and the effect of a superimposed grid; the repetition and variation of motifs; and the psychological and perceptual effects of color.
