About the Item
This work on paper by Cleve Gray is lovely in person - delicate and yet singular and eye catching. Framed in a white washed new wood frame with white matting and plex.
Common to all of Cleve Gray’s “series” are his striking use of color applied with varied conventional and unconventional techniques including pouring, staining, and sponging paint or ink onto and over the surfaces of canvas and paper. Another unifying element seen throughout his career is his use of gestural marks which have their roots in Chinese painting and calligraphy, and other ancient archaeological signs. Here in Gesture: Yellow, Black Gray minimalizes the use of “field” instead focusing on the gesture through energetic use of color and spontaneity which emphasizes the form. Gray enjoyed drawing though would often go months or years without returning to paper. Occasionally these works acted as studies for paintings though in most cases they were unique compositions unto themselves.
