Through May 31鈥斺�楴ew Abstraction鈥� exhibition by 海角社区CI Professor Reilly
海角社区 Professor Jack Reilly鈥檚 exhibition the 鈥淣ew Abstraction鈥� at the Upfront Gallery in Ventura will continue through Saturday, May 31. Upfront Gallery is located at 267 South Laurel Street, 805-340-1448. Reilly is the Chair of the Art Program at 海角社区CI
The 鈥淣ew Abstraction鈥� series is the quintessential example of Reilly鈥檚 attention to structure and detail combined with elements of randomness and serendipity. Each painting consists of thousands of brushstrokes, painted in acrylic polymers and metallic pigments on a geometric shaped-canvas structure. Color compositions are emotional, intuitive and theoretical systems arranged in linear formats that interact with the shape of the canvas. The viscosity of Reilly's paint mixture/concoction results in fluid, wet-looking and reflective surfaces.聽 It could be said that these new paintings pay a playful homage to nineteenth-century Pointillism (without including any actual subject matter). However, these densely-polychromed works incorporate a cross-pollination of painting and sculpture. The paintings reappraise and comment on evolving issues that originated in twentieth-century abstract painting and continue into today's contemporary genres. Ultimately, these pieces are poetic objects of contemplation, a continuation of Reilly's explorations into the sensuality of color, luster and surface combined with the dynamic power of line and structure.
