Folia (I) 13” x 10” and Folia (II) 11.75” x 10” 2022 / pastel, charcoal, earth pigments and acrylic on paper by Blaise Rosenthal #blaiserosenthal #johanssonprojects (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjDjQl9rHXv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"I find the transcendent subtlety and quietude of Blaise Rosenthal’s intricate compositions in charcoal and acrylic on canvas immediately captivating. his softly wavering, almost flickering, striations evoke the ascetic quality of agnes martin’s grid paintings of the 1960s and ’70s, while his manner of binding canvases together to form multipartite compositions signals a contemporary understanding of how to push the medium in new directions. although this artist is self-taught, his formal excellence, evident commitment to process, and sophisticated understanding of his medium set these abstractions apart. despite the apparent simplicity of his work’s construction, these paintings are redolent with nuance and complexity." -apsara diquinzio New work from the studio: ‘Castilleja’ 24” x 20” Pastel, charcoal, earth pigments and acrylic on canvas #johanssonprojects #blaiserosenthal (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg0iXXgrBS2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy birthday to Blaise Rosenthal Given time, the subtleties redolent in Rosenthal’s monochromatic works provide similar discoveries to those realized when viewing majestic environments, such as the perspective from the artist’s childhood home at the foot of the Sierra Nevada.

Blaise Rosenthal uses contrasting temperatures of hue in his pencils over solid shapes of paint. This effects the surface of his works, creating a visual vibration as the light shifts in the gallery. ‘The Assumption’ Pastel, charcoal, earth pigments and acrylic on canvas 64” x 50” by Blaise Rosenthal ‘High Plains’ with Rachelle Bussières, Andy Vogt + Blaise Rosenthal is up thru Feb 26 at Johansson Projects.

Rachelle Bussières explores the impact of light on our psyche, environment and social structures. These lumen prints include photograms that oscillate between two-dimensional images and three-dimensional objects. These are windows on interior spaces that grow abs are depleted by sunlight, as well as artificial light sources. Bussières seeks to generate new ways of seeing, to challenge our beliefs and intuitions about perceptions, and draw attention to the ways in which light and shadow sculpt new optical space. This and other new works now on view in “High Plains”, an exhibition also featuring works by Blaise Rosenthal and Andy Vogt. “After Dune II (two circles and a disk, 1 hour and 5 minutes” Archival pigment print of scanned lumen Available as 50x44, Ed of 3, 40x33, Ed of 3, and 24x20, Ed of 5 #johanssonprojects #rachellebussieres #blaiserosenthal #andyvogt #highplainsexhibition #lumenprinting #photogram (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZKe6HUvJJv/?utm_medium=tumblr
