Brian Zink- Assembled
When
- Tuesday
- Feb. 7, 2012
Description
Opening Reception:
Friday, January 6th 6 - 8 pm
Every form is a base for colour; every colour is the attribute of a form.
- Victor Vasarely
With Assembled, Brian Zink returns to his well-known colored Plexiglas construction practice. Zink's new work, however, extends that language into a critical consideration of the symbiotic and uncanny relationship between pure abstraction and pictorial space.
For Zink, the real springs from the sheer presence of the material object and, as the show's title and an initial inspection make clear, the works are Assembled from machine-manufactured parts. Each work is constructed of a thick flat plastic slab supporting a careful arrangement of glossy, commercially-colored, chunky Plexiglas diamonds and rhombi. The compositions appear regular: a simple, direct pattern sustained by a single hue balanced against black, white, and/or gray. In fact each comprises a symmetrical design that suggests an infinite repetition, the base repeat of an endless pattern. Like other Zink constructions, we're rooted by their materiality, simplicity, and patterning to a consideration of the real space we occupy with them.
