Jimi Gleason’s newest body of work on view at William Turner Gallery almost seem like painterly mirrors reflecting the artist’s continued investigation into materiality and form. These large-scale paintings are brightly colored and luminously reflective, giving them the appearance of glass or an ever-deepening silver glaze, and indeed Gleason’s working process involves utilizing silver nitrate as a final application over densely painterly acrylic surfaces. The effect of this process is spectacular wherein the paint glows and shifts at various turns depending on the viewer’s position to the work and the way the light hits the surface.
