Whiting Tennis: At Variance
Russo Lee Gallery is pleased to exhibit At Variance by invited artist Whiting Tennis. For this exhibition, Tennis has created paintings, drawings, and collage works that combine a variety of mediums. He presents a broad range of work in both his use of color or monochromatic relationships, as well as explorations of abstraction and figuration. Tennis states, “I’ve noticed for years that while starting a drawing on a blank sheet of paper, I can feel opposing forces wanting to influence what happens, whether it’s abstraction vs. figuration or mechanical vs. organic, or dynamic vs. static etc. That tension feels a little like electricity, and sometimes I think that this subtle energy is helping to drive the drawing.”
Opening Reception: February 1, 5:00 – 7:00 P.M.
Artist Talk: February 10, 11:00 A.M.
