THE SUN POURED IN LIKE BUTTERSCOTCH

From March 14th to April 20th, 2019.

Projet Pangée is pleased to present The Sun Poured in Like Butterscotch, an exhibition uniting the work of seven artists and curated Les Ramsay.

“The exhibition is a hurly burly of colour field painting and domestic craft from seven artists with material-based practices relating to painting and collage. Working within and outside of the stretcher, and with a variety of materials, these artists use textile methods of construction like dyeing, staining, collaging, sewing, the building of custom supports, and the crocheting of ribbons of paint.

These subtle and tactile methods of picture making draw attention to the perceived physicality of colour: of pigment resting on surface or chemically bonding to fiber. The range of surface texture upon each picture plane affects the overall reading, with the presence of natural fiber adding softness and infusing quality, an inevitable contrast to the hard plasticity of paint as medium. Tension and flow snicker at the push and pull; there’s something beyond depth on the picture plane here; we’re witnessing the smoke of an ancient nostalgia spread like a ribbon out of the window.” - Les Ramsay

With Sam Branden, Robert Erickson, Colleen Heslin, Lauren Luloff, Les Ramsay, Jonathan Ryan Storm and Angela Teng

Opening on Thursday March 14th, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
