Brian Gross Fine Art is pleased to announce the opening of "Pard Morrison: BLOOM" on May 13, 2021. Three new large-scale sculptures and paintings done in his signature materials of patinated aluminum will be featured. The exhibition will also mark the gallery debut of three large paintings on linen. Composed of criss-crossing bands and overlapping planes of saturated color, the works in "BLOOM" reveal Morrison's continued exploration of complex geometric patterning and dynamic color combinations. The exhibition will be on view through July 19, 2021.
Combining painterly application with simplified structural forms, Pard Morrison's works expand upon the minimalist tradition. Morrison colors the aluminum forms of his sculptures in an enameling process he calls patination. The smooth surfaces of these works belie the brushstrokes that are visible throughout his elaborate arrangements of color. In contrast, Morrison's paintings on linen are composed of a broad latticework grid of blue, pinks, yellows, whites, and black floating over a uniform background. Their surfaces are full of supple textures created with each applied brushstroke, while the subtly irregular bars of color break with the precision demanded by formalist aesthetics.
