In Where the Palm Meets the Pine, past Juxtapoz cover artist Richard Colman presents a radical new body of work: 21 paintings created over the past year. In flux. In and out of focus. Vibrating. The new works feel urgent and timeless. Transforming. Groups of figures appearing and disappearing. Compositions disintegrating and consolidating. Somewhere beyond figuration and abstraction. Cycles of painting and repainting. Saturated deep hues. Colors shimmering. Layers trembling. Past, present, and future intertwined. Acutely now, but only momentarily. Melancholic yet optimistic. Navigating the human condition. Finding strength in fragility. Beautifully uncanny. Transcendental painting.
The show is on view at V1 Gallery now.
