LOUISE P. SLOANE: NEW HORIZONS
MARCH 10 – 28, 2020
Sloane’s new body of work continues to explore the ideology of breaking free from the confines of the material world. In 2019 and 2020, inspired by both Hilma af Klint and Kazimir Malevich, Sloane began experimenting with a wider color pallete and new geometric forms. The rectangles and squares that have always felt anchored to the center of her paintings have now become untethered. These shapes now feel weightless, unbound by the gravitational pull tugging at them from the grid upon which they appear. The buoyancy of these geometric forms creates a tension within the rectangular grid, and they feel as if they might float off the wall.
