White
March 25 - April 23,

opening Friday, March 25th,
6-9pm
Jancar Jones Gallery is pleased to
announce an exhibit of new work by Bay Area artist Nancy White. The show
will include a number of acrylic paintings on paper mounted board. This
will be her second solo exhibit with the
gallery.
In her new body of work White continues to
explore the perceptual relationship between what is painted and what the eye
constructs. By using matte, closely valued colors, the paintings can
appear almost monochromatic; the geometric constructions within, visually
elusive. The adjacent triangular forms that make up the small compositions
simultaneously collapse and expand the pictorial space, shifting and
unfolding at varying rates of speed due to their varied size and color
density. As a result of this kind of formal examination, White proposes a
harmonious dichotomy in which minimalist objects can emerge out of complex
compositions and visa
versa.
Nancy [UTF-8?]White’s work has been
exhibited in
solo exhibitions at Takada Gallery, San Francisco and recently in group
exhibitions at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary, San Jose, CA; Higgins
Art Gallery, Barnstable, MA; the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland,
OR; the Los Gatos Art Museum, Los Gatos, CA; Busdori, Tokyo, Japan; and
ParisConcret, Paris, France. Her work was also included in a series of
traveling exhibits that originated at Weltraum26, Munich, and traveled to
Pharmaka, Los Angeles, and Meridian Gallery, San Francisco,
CA.
