Opening Reception: Xander Rudd: Slow Fade

Xander Rudd: Slow Fade
opening reception: Thursday, March 21, 6-10 pm

In this solo exhibition, Slow Fade,  Xander Rudd explores the essence of “fade” in his new mixed media paintings and the multi-dimensionality that lies within them. The paintings oscillate between abstraction and representation, blending organic forms with fabricated constructs. Within each piece, there exists a delicate interplay between painterly expression and graphic precision, inviting viewers to navigate the threshold between order and chaos. Gradients of color are central to the collection, dancing across the surface and serving as a conduit for transitioning between moments, realities, and states of mind.

A notable aspect of Rudd’s work lies in the interconnectedness of each piece. They inform, yet also echo one another, creating a visual dialogue that resonates throughout the exhibition. Through a harmonious blend of form and color, viewers are encouraged to immerse themselves in the intricacies of texture and pattern, while also embracing the tranquil expanses of atmospheric fades. In essence, this exhibition offers a contemplative experience, inviting audiences to tune into the nuances of perception and to explore the subtle beauty found within the journey of transformation.
