About the Item
The color etchings that Stanley Whitney produced in 2017 are musical and improvisational with a spectrum of colors created in a grid that reinvigorate the mind and spirit. Each so unique and similar in design, the viewer is brought into themselves while encountering these works, the negative space allowing for contemplation of these semi-organic shapes, and how the space relates to the subject matter. Whitney uses varying line weights when placing his values, which allow the true ranges of color to burst forth from the page, the values of turquoise vibrant and bright, drawing your eye throughout the grid. There are circular deposits of ink that vibrate throughout the work, creating a mass amount of detail that requires a keen eye to notice.
Though there is no specific subject matter, the abstract artist states in New Waves: Contemporary Art and the Issues Shaping Its Tomorrow (September 2021, Skira Publishers), “I wasn’t interested in Pop art; I wanted something with depth. When I saw Mark Rothko and Morris Louis, I felt that I was home, that was just who I was. I just embraced that, stuck to it and believed in that.” Embracing the color field and simply learning to experiment over decades with the single compositional strategy of rendering grids with seemingly inexhaustible variations of color. Overall, this work offers a delicate balance of vibrant color and organic lines to create a composition filled with poetic poise.
Created in 2017, this color etching in hand signed and dated in pencil by Stanley Whitney (Philadelphia, 1964 - ) in the lower right margin. From the edition of 20 in the lower right.

Stanley Whitney
Stanley Whitney is an esteemed American abstract painter whose work is celebrated for its vibrant colors, geometric compositions, and rhythmic brushwork. Born in Philadelphia in 1946, Whitney's artistic journey spans over five decades, during which he has developed a distinctive visual language characterized by the interplay of form and color. Inspired by the traditions of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, Whitney's paintings often feature stacked and interlocking blocks of color that create dynamic and harmonious arrangements on the canvas. His use of color is particularly notable, with bold and contrasting hues infusing his works with a sense of energy and vitality. Whitney's art is deeply rooted in his personal experiences and cultural influences, drawing from his African American heritage and travels to places such as Egypt and Italy. Through his abstract compositions, Whitney explores themes of balance, harmony, and the human experience, inviting viewers to engage with his work on both a visual and emotional level. With numerous exhibitions and accolades to his name, including a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship, Whitney continues to captivate audiences with his vibrant and compelling paintings.
