CHROMATOZE - New paintings by Dr John Barnes
A kaleidoscopic exhibition in The Big Space at The Creator Incubator.
The exhibition runs from Thursday 3rd till Sunday 20th of April.
CHROMATOZE where the sensual coalesces with the intellectual in a tightly controlled explosion of colour.
This is the tenth solo exhibition from highly regarded Newcastle artist, Dr John Barnes and these geometric, abstract works continue his exploration and experimentation in colour and form that made his last exhibition, Night Lights such a success.
In these new works, Barnes’ carefully considered juxtaposition of geometric shapes in strong flat colours produces sumptuous paintings whose individual shapes interact to produce vivid, fully integrated images of rare intensity and internal energy.
The underlying structure and geometry of these improvisational paintings, when combined with the interplay of a meticulously selected colour palette produces contemplative images with strong parallels in music, especially jazz with tone, harmony, key, rhythm and beat being integral to both.
The works that make up CHROMATOZE are not reliant on size to overwhelm the viewer but through their human scale, combined with the artist’s particular selection of colour and shape they are able to activate and energise space while commanding thoughtful attention.
Nothing beige going on here.
