Artist Talk with Paulina King

Join us in discussion with visual artist Paulina King alongside her current show in no. 5: The Light Saw What I Couldn’t. The talk will be Saturday, March 15th at 2pm on the second floor of the Abel Contemporary Gallery. The talk is free and open to the public.

Light is transformative. The Light Saw What I Couldn’t explores light through the manipu-lation of translucency and color. Through intentional positioning of poured silicone sheets, King creates large scale color fields with tones inspired by the sky. Light activates each work, which in turn generate subtle auras and change the atmospheric condi-tions of their surroundings. These works ask the viewer to allow themselves to be swayed by the impact of light and color, not just in the gallery, but everywhere. To be present in experiencing the nuance and beauty light creates all around us. Through this recon-nection to the physical world, King aims to encourage contemplation of our relationship with our surroundings, and more broadly, our environment.
