David Richard Gallery is pleased to present Patsy Krebs, Interlocking Series: Paintings from 1990 to 1995 in her first solo exhibition with the gallery and her first solo show in New York since 2004. The compositions are comprised of two square or rectangular geometric forms that overlap and appear as though they are interlocking and mostly in the horizontal orientation. However, there is one newer painting from 2021 that also includes 24 ct gold leaf. The spatial depth and sense of volume is achieved by using Flashe paint on canvas. According to the artist, “the velvety and luminous Flashe surface is dead flat (matte) - it has absolutely no reflective capacity, which serves to liberate the color, which just hangs in the air, vis a vis the viewer, so the forms hover, connect, disconnect.” Since the surface is so matte, the illusory effect of the geometric forms interlocking is achieved purely through color and specifically, the artist’s selections of color or values and their interactions with adjacent colors to create a push or pull effect for the viewer. There are thirteen paintings in the presentation: 6 large paintings ranging from 36 x 72” up to 48 x 90”; three mid-sized paintings ranging from 20 x 23” to 36 x 28”; and four smaller paintings that range from 12 x 16” to 12 x 24”.
