is pleased to announce Approximate
Affinities, an exhibition of new paintings by Jill Christian. This
exhibition features work on paper that the artist began during a stay at
Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, CO.
Christian is
known for her paintings of gridded fields made of repetitively applied brushstrokes
of shifting colors. In Approximate Affinities, Christian has
opened up the grid and loosened her compositions. The works on paper are quickly made, with
brushstrokes forming ambiguous shapes that interact in fields of chromatic
grays and the occasional color. The
paintings rely on numerous sketches that serve as practice moves for the final
work.
As in her earlier
work, Christian continues to be concerned with process, repetition, color, and
the creation of rhythmic patterns. Here, irregular, painterly ovals and
lozenges suggest stones or organic shapes and move in and out of proximity and
grid-like order. The work presents variations on a repeated motif that explore
how shifts in order, size, placement, and color evoke senses of speed, tension,
rest, and relationship between the figures and the fields on which they float.
