Picture Plane
Picture Plane:

May 15 - June 19

Opening Reception: May 15, 7-9 pm

Nudashank is pleased to present our second exhibition- “Picture Plane.” This show brings together paintings that combine hard-edged abstraction with a post-digital return to pictorial space and linear perspective. Equal parts modernism and classicism, the exhibiting painters are from a generation that has been influenced by screensavers, vector graphics, MS Paint, Google maps, and Photoshop. The paintings evince the pervading luminescence of the computer screen, the digital color spectrum, and the expanding universe of virtual spaces. Flat, planar shapes are used as devices to depict scenes void of inhabitants. These paintings reflect a new, synthesized (perhaps alienated) perception of the world and how visual information is coded, condensed, flattened, and transmitted.

Picture Plane features six artists: New York based Dan Bina and Morgan Blair, DC based Michael Dotson and Allison Reimus, and Baltimore based Tim Horjus and Dale Ihnken.


Hope to see you there!
