Ross BlecknerMeditation/for H.M. (Ruins Proclaim the Building) (2007) COURTESY: MARY BOONE GALLERY, NEW YORK. |
On 3 November 2007 the
Mary Boone Gallery will open at its Chelsea location an exhibition of new paintings by ROSS BLECKNER.
The uniting feature in this series of “Meditation” paintings is a scarlet red leaf-and-vine motif that appears to float above the plane of the painting surface. At times whirling mandala-like around the center, or unfurled in mirror image like a bloody Rorschach, the entanglement conveys a mutant and ever-expanding life force. Luminous gray backgrounds, shadows and faded phantasmal images of the foliage shapes complete the illusion of deep receding space. This prepossession with light and mortality – expressed through symbolic organic forms and
painterly abstraction - is a theme that runs throughout Bleckner’s thirty-year body of work.
