Check after the break for more including the exhibition dates starting January 6.
From the press release…
MONO/CHROMATICS is an extensive exhibition by Washington artist Michael Gross, curated by William Christenberry. It spans over 30 years of work and features new large canvases that use a complex mixture of line and color to harness energy into equilibrium, exploring the nuances of the show’s title. Over 60 works will be on view, ranging from representational to the artist’s signature abstract style.
Michael Gross attended classes at the Art Institute of Chicago as a child, in a city that granted him the experiences of a great cultural center. He later studied at the Corcoran with Christenberry, who has this to say about his work, in an essay in the handsome catalogue that accompanies this exhibition: “Gross started with an ability to make lines that remind me of Arshile Gorky and a willingness to make art that involved constant risk-taking. He has explored this vision, exploiting it as he goes and always pushing it further. He is doing it now more strongly than ever.”
