Maritta Tapanainen\u2019s collages and David Fought\u2019s sculptures at first glance could not be more different. Yet both artists, as they examine form and line and the space between, engage us in the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapanainen\u2019s work uses the most delicate of materials for her collages and what\u2019s interesting is that the plaster surfaces of Fought\u2019s sculptures are also delicate and fragile, yet they appear solid within their realm of influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tapanainen collage work creates multi layered subtle surfaces that are minimal in their use of color, giving translucence to them. As we examine the work, it begins to reveal itself in forms and shapes and tones that pulse with tension, texture, and release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sculptures by David Fought present an abstract architecture of form, volume, line, and surface. The planes we are asked to consider and examine swoop, converge, and coalesce into beautiful monochromatic fields interrupted at perfect intervals by the rudeness of a gorgeous bit of rust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The metal rods make lines that focus our attention on the armature and framework of the sculpture, at the same time lending support and definition to the plaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maritta Tapanainen\u2019s collages stand in startling contrast to the Fought sculptures, yet they both share an abstraction ethos. These abstractions by Fought and Tapanainen bring to our eyes an idea of Agnes Martin\u2019s explorations. Specifically as we examine their surfaces, both works begin to approach color field paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
