The Art of Translation

About

Edelman Arts presents "The Art of Translation," an exhibition of new paintings by genre-busting painter Doug Argue. The exhibit showcases the highly individual conceptual vocabulary Argue brings to his paintings.The painter puts his unique vocabulary to work with a visual and conceptual subtext of letters. From a distance, the paintings suggest color field painting or abstract expressionism. A closer look reveals the paintings are comprised of prismatic realms of flowing shapes and patterns. Painted with oil on linen, the letterforms are individually stretched and transformed, capturing language's ephemeral, fluid nature.
