RUTH PASTINE: COLORSCAPE
Current Exhibitions exhibition
-
-
Colorscape brings together a new group of atmospheric compositions of varied sizes that seem to float before our eyes, elegantly stretched upon beveled supports. Built through countless layers of oil paint, these ethereal works hover between presence and immateriality, inviting quiet introspection.

Rendered entirely through meticulous brushwork, her paintings share a perceptual affinity with the light environments of James Turrell and the luminous installations of Dan Flavin, where color and light function as immersive spatial phenomena that alter perception itself. In each of her works, the gradual tonal transitions between hues are nearly imperceptible, producing a radiant chromatic environment in which color seems to hover and shift with the viewer’s movement and the surrounding light. Indigo blues dissolve into deep violet, magenta reds pulse with bold intensity, and turquoise greens radiate across the surface, each composition unfolding its own chromatic atmosphere and sensual optical experience.
