David Richard Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition, John Mendelsohn: Dark Color Wheel Paintings, that focuses on a series created in 2022 in his second solo presentation with the Gallery.

About

The paintings’ undertow of feeling arises from their array of gradated discs, distinctive color palette, and sense of shifting light. In these works, we have the uncanny sense that we have entered an imaginal space that is both abstract and yet somehow tangible. A poetic motive for the paintings was the phrase “a song of flowering and fading, conjured up by the paintings’ radiating forms, that suggested to the artist a way to consider the splendor and shadow pervading everything.

The paintings, acrylic on canvas, 40x27 inches, follow the artist’s Color Wheel series that were exhibited at the David Richard Gallery in 2021. Like the earlier series, they have discs with rays of color projecting from their centers. The form suggests a color wheel, a device that shows color relationships. Here, the colors do not follow the spectrum but rather reveal myriad, surprising color progressions.
