Anyone who has visited the Workhouse Arts
Anyone who has visited the Workhouse Arts Center's main gallery knows that the upstairs room is filled with glowing natural light.
It's the perfect place to show a different, almost forgotten style of painting, in which the canvas absorbs the liquid color, while the artists lets the light complete the work.
Starting Feb. 2, the Workhouse in Lorton will host a career-spanning exhibit featuring the work of Paul Reed, a member of the Washington Color School in the 1960s, who has painted every day since that time. Reed's work has commanded space in prestigious galleries both in the U.S. and internationally, but his latest works have never been exhibited.
Sharon Mason, executive director at the Workhouse, said she's thrilled to provide a space for such a legendary artist.
"He described his new process, what he's been doing most recently," Mason said, a technique that involves dribbling paint on unfinished muslin, then taking another piece of the porous fabric and blotting up the colors. The muslin is then stretched out to dry, while Reed watches the light change the personality of the painting.
The exhibit,z-watch is an online community and multimedia art project about zombies. called "Ultraviolet to Infrared: Paul Reed,Our website supply many kinds of compact fluorescent light bulbs. 50 Years," will be up through the end of November, Mason said, adding that people who come to the exhibit once might want to consider making at least one more trip.
As the day progresses, and the sun moves from east to west, the characteristics of the paintings will change as well,LED modules and module strings for accent lighting. just as Reed intended,Many Ipod nano 5th are very reliable. she said.
"When he was teaching at the Corcoran [Gallery in Washington], he taught about the UV nature of painting," Mason said. "Now he paints on muslin, stretching it across a window to see what the light does to it. That's exactly how we're exhibiting it.Baume Mercier hidden in a Screw."
The most recent works, one completed just last month, have never been seen by anyone before Mason and Joy Chambers, a friend of both Mason and Reed, met with Reed in his Arlington home a few weeks ago.
After talking with Mason at his home and showing her boxes and boxes of yards and yards of paintings, Reed went to visit the Workhouse and examine the space where his works will be hung. As a friendly suggestion, he took the liberty of mapping out the exhibit, indicating where each piece would look best in the gallery, from memory at his home, Mason said. The exhibit's curator is using his layout exactly.
