Eugene Stewart: Color Fields Opening Reception

September 22, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Abstract peach and green gestural painting with "Color Field" text

Open September 22 – October 23. 

Art Gym Gallery is excited to present Color Fields, an upcoming solo exhibition from Taos-based artist Eugene Stewart. Please join us for an opening reception on Thursday September 22 from 6-9PM.

Artist’s Statement:

“The works I have included in this exhibition are monotypes, (singular, non-repeated prints) that tap into the practice of “abstract expressionism”  While I used to regard the term “abstract expressionism” to be only a direct reference to its practitioners in the middle of the 20th century, I have modified my sense about both what is “abstract,” and what is “expression.”   I increasingly, invoke ideas and visual representations of the abstract as integration, and idea-sharpening, not a map to meaning.  In this sense, when explored as a method, with images constructed obliquely, using an “abstract” visual vocabulary, the work forms into a surprising statement of expression–a direct map of material invention and realization.”
