David Richard Contemporary is pleased to present Tower, Lobby, Floor, an
exhibition of new paintings by Matthew Penkala. This new work is somewhere
between photography and non-objective abstract painting. Penkala plays with
light and glare, the familiar and abstract with hard-edges and diffuse borders
using his masterful airbrush techniques, subtly blending colors and creating
narrow spectra and an inescapable depth that provides an illusion of altered
space and time - perhaps more of a continuum between finite and infinite. The
color palette, fragmented shapes and blinding spheres of light make each
painting exciting and seductive, along with intriguing titles - “Won’t Be
This Way Very long,” “Moving Out Of Orbit,” “Frequency Wires,” and
“Pale Imitation” – that beg the viewer to engage and consider an alternate
viewpoint.
Penkala received his BFA in Photography from Arizona State University and MFA in
Painting from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has had several solo exhibitions and
his artwork included in many group exhibitions in Los Angeles, Santa Fe, Detroit
and Phoenix. Penkala’s work is included in numerous private and public
collections. He lives and works in Los Angeles,
California.
The exhibition will be accompanied by an on-line catalog with an essay by David
Pagel.
David Richard Contemporary is located in downtown Santa Fe north of the historic
plaza. The gallery offers a range of important contemporary art with an emphasis
on abstraction in a variety of media by established and emerging American and
international contemporary artists, as well as historically significant works
from the 1960s through the
1980s.
Winter Gallery Hours: Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5
