Marjorie Minkin
Jason Rulnick
547 W 27th StJason Rulnick is honored to present the recent paintings of Marjorie Minkin in the artists first one person New York exhibition in over twenty years. This exhibition reveals a group of evolving abstract paintings on canvas and Lexan.
Minkin’s work on canvas references the landscape in pictorial space with intense color reflecting and shifting in appearance. The artist is a pioneer when it comes to the paintings in Lexan, a rigid industrial plastic material. Her brand of paintings came about in response to predecessors and friends Jules Olitski and Anthony Caro and through Minkin’s participation in the Triangle Arts Association. Minkin’s dimensional Lexan paintings depart from the traditional canvas window with an object that moves color as through an expansive space giving a fluid-like appearance. Though the artist’s studio process is a clandestine affair, it is no secret that Minkin’s colors and are a product of science and a career of experimentation and discovery.
Minkin’s use of color is based on elements of light in nature, and attempt to capture its reflective and translucent qualities. This interest in luminous and glossy color led Minkin into a role that has assisted in the commercial development of acrylic paints as an artists’ medium.
The platform for Minkin’s earliest exhibitions came through the New New; an international group of painters exhibiting together but working independently, outside New York, and had an allegiance to the New York Schools of Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting. After years of presenting work through the group, the artist began to intensify her studio practice and distinguished her paintings from those of her peers and influences.
In her newest collection of paintings created over the past year, Minkin reaches beyond the picture plane of color-field or abstraction. The work projects the emotion and thought process of the artist, and shows the ability to translate through different materials, while holding an easily changing vantage point for us to enter each painting.
Marjorie Minkin was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts and works in Waltham, MA. She received her education at Skidmore College and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Her work has been exhibited in Boston, New York among other US cities as well as in Canada, Europe and South Korea. Her paintings are held in numerous public collections and museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The National Gallery of Prague and the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art.
