Colore
Lainey Racah, Katy Ann Gilmore, Douglas Meyer, Lies Kraal
May 18 - June 22, 2024
CMAY GALLERY is thrilled to announce its upcoming exhibition, "Colore," featuring the works of four distinguished Los Angeles-based artists: Lainey Racah, Katy Ann Gilmore, Lies Kraal, and Douglas Meyer. Curated by Carl Berg, this group exhibition promises to be a captivating exploration of the multifaceted relationship between color and paint in contemporary art.
Inspired by his travels in Italy, where he discovered the rich linguistic duality of the word "Colore," Carl Berg embarked on a curatorial journey to showcase the interconnectedness of color and paint in an artistic expression. In Italian, "Colore" not only signifies color but also signifies the paint itself.
"Colore" invites viewers to immerse themselves in a visual feast that spans a spectrum of abstract artistic styles and techniques. From the serene expanses of color field painting to the dynamics of more gestural works, each artist brings their unique perspective to the exploration of color through paint.
At the heart of the exhibition lies a celebration of individual artistic voices, each resonating with a distinct approach to color and its application. Whether through meticulous brushwork, bold palette choices, or spontaneous mark-making, the artists in "Colore" invite audiences to witness the transformative power of color as it comes to life on the canvas.
