This show takes a focused look at four paintings, each one emblematic of a practice whose commitment to the medium has been a specific force in the development of an individual oeuvre. What the works have in common is the creation of an aesthetic reality based on the processes of cognition where notions of literality are inverted, and used as symbolic referents. Whether objectified or implied, aleatoric or given, rational or irrational, the referent in each work operates as a portal through which the experience of thought leads to insight. Meaning is shifted away from the referent, and painting is neither defined by nor limited to the cultural phenomena that gave it body.
