David Roth, #8 Green, Orange, Violet Oxide on Black Gesso Interference Paint on board, 2006
PHILADELPHIA, PA.- Always eagerly awaited, new work by David Roth, one of the most important conceptual abstract artists of the past 45 years, will debut in David Roth: The Interference Color Paintings at Moderne Gallery, 111 N. Third Street , Philadelphia PA 19106 (215-923-8536; www.modernegallery.com). The exhibition opens on First Friday, May 4 and continues through Saturday, July 14, 2007. This is the first exhibit of contemporary art presented by Moderne Gallery and David Roth’s first solo exhibition since 2001.
David Roth: The Interference Color Paintings will include at least 20 new works, extending the artist’s fascination with “the reflection of light on a ‘necessarily’ elusive material surface.” His strokes “know their place in a motif that exists entirely within the painting.” According to Roth, these new works in Interference Color paints – ephemeral, chameleon-like paints that reflect light and change color when seen from different angles -- are an attempt to realize his earlier, well-known “Graphite” works in color. The dynamism of the colors adds to the dramatic actuality of the paintings. Lire la suite http://www.artdaily.com/section/news/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=19884
