Color Out of Space

A lot happens in the room at the Lowell Ryan group show Color Out of Space, so much that it seeps into more than one dimension. In large-scale mixed-media paintings and sculptures that take the very idea of mixed media to new places, five artists address not only unconventional materials, but eccentric perspectives on reality itself. Across assertive stylistic divergences and intuitive imagic resonances, one motif emerges from the cavalcade. Mutations manifest in extreme pattern-seeking, anthro-botanical lifeforms, and synthetic, pulsating viscera, as a poetic, science fiction-inflected gesturalism squirms and emerges.
