Solo Exhibition: Go With The Flow
Marcel Rozek
Dates: February 17 - March 23, 2024
Reception: Saturday, February 17 | 5 - 8 PM
Glass Rice is proud to present Go With The Flow, Marcel Rozek’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery. As he continues to explore the possibilities of color and abstraction, his latest body work is fueled by a newfound focus; single monochromatic forms.
In his multi-layered stain paintings, Rozek focuses on discovery within the medium. As a process oriented painter, he begins each piece by pouring diluted liquefied oil paint onto raw unprimed canvas; allowing the interaction between the materials he uses and the space the work exists within to become the subject. Organic shapes naturally take form from the energy exerted by the act of each pour; simultaneously coalescing and defining boundaries in the fabric of the canvas. In allowing his practice to follow the dictation of the materials to find a visually and spiritually pleasing image, captivating compositions serendipitously take shape.
By focusing on single monochromatic forms in this series, Rozek expands on his understanding of color and reaffirms his steadfast dedication to pouring diluted paint onto raw canvas. The faintly stained layers of pigments sunk into the canvas leave behind a well of depth within the soft transparent forms. Within each piece is an embrace of the natural imperfections within the process of spilling paint.
Go With The Flow absorbs viewers into immersive monochromatic environments. Despite his methodical approach, Rozek leaves much room for unplanned potential; each painting a probe into a greater discovery for himself, the viewer and his practice as a whole.
______
The opening reception will run from 5-8 pm on February 17 and is open to the general public for walk-ins. The artist will be in attendance.
Private appointments can be made on our website to view the exhibition after the opening reception through March 23.
