All the colors of summer: bright, bold, and dramatic – with geometries to intrigue and challenge. From lime green, to beach ball orange, from the simple cube to a twisted agglomerate of half-circles — this summer’s group exhibition, “Power Play,” brings together work that masters both color and form.

Materials and methods diverge radically. At the more traditional end of the spectrum is the acrylic on canvas work of Tim Bavington – with its piercing stripes of color. Utilizing multi-media approaches are Robert Kelly and Paul Sarkisian. Kelly layers paper materials, collected during his travels, which are glazed and polished before they disappear beneath glossy-colored geometric shapes and lines. Sarkisian’s work – large scale, incorporating shaped panels, employs tinted resins and industrial enamel. Sculptural wall and floor pieces include works such as William Metcalf’s polyester fabric cubes. These brilliantly colored pieces, floating in groupings across the wall – look like a collection of wild cubist butterflies. Heiner Thiel’s bold aluminum works, pieces of sphere that arc from the wall – offer nuanced color-shifts. Charles Arnoldi’s cut out geometric forms and Jeremy Thomas’ strange and sensuous inflated steel sculptures offer both vibrant color and alluring contrast. And finally, a dichromate hologram by James Turrell. Turrell’s holograms record light waves onto a handmade transparent emulsion on glass, creating the effect of a brilliant and ephemeral rainbow – captured in time and space.

All these, and more, are on view this summer during the dynamic group exhibition, “Power Play” at Charlotte Jackson Fine Art, in the Railyard Arts District.
