Notations/Joseph Marioni: Paintings, 2000–2015

Selected by artist Joseph Marioni, the paintings in this installation represent a focused survey of his work. At first appearing monochromatic, Marioni’s canvases produce color sensations that shift with changes in light and viewpoint. In fact, each work features several distinct layers of acrylic paint of contrasting colors and intensities. Through unhurried contemplation, we can gain a deeper understanding that color is not a fixed entity, but rather subject to fluctuations of light and our own perception.
