Opening reception Sat, July 9, 5-8pm, exhibition runs through August 6, 2016
Local visual artist Jon Shannon Rogers will have a solo show of recent non-objective paintings at the Lottie Rose Gallery in Oakland, CA. The exhibition, titled ColorCraft, will feature 27 non-objective paintings made in 2016 and runs through August 6, 2016.
Rogers sees the group of paintings as "an exploration of the potential for color to create dynamic pictorial space without reference to literal imagery." Lines of saturated color zip around the compositions, carving out spacial depth while the physicality of the paint reminds the viewer of the two-dimensional materiality of the works. Geometric volumes begin to coalesce, but break apart to pull the eye deeper into the maze of chromatic interaction. Rogers says he hopes the labyrinthine works result in the viewer "experiencing the phenomenon of color-space."
Lottie Rose Gallery, located in North Oakland is one of several exhibition spaces under the umbrella of the Firehouse Art Collective, the Lottie Rose Gallery has hosted over twenty exhibitions in two years, both solo and group shows of visual art, music, and performance by guest curators and visiting artists, as well as members of the Firehouse Art Collective.
Concurrently, Rogers' painting "Hot House", from the same body of non-objective works, will be featured in The Painting Center's upcoming exhibition The Retrieval of the Beautiful, on view through July 16, 2016 in New York.
