Barbara Davis Gallery is pleased to announce Marmalade Punch, a solo exhibition by Houston artist Paul Fleming, opening Friday, September 11, 2015, with an artist’s reception from 6:30 – 8:30pm. This exhibition is on view through October 9, 2015.
In his exhibition, Marmalade Punch, Paul Fleming presents new site-specific installations that continue his process driven practice. Captivated by the forms of everyday objects, such as snow cone cups or beverage dispensers, Fleming casts the objects in cement and utilizes the voids as vessels for colored resin. Stripped of their conventional function, the objects are transformed into non-objective elements that examine the formal aspects of material and form. Color interactions either steadily gradate, or abruptly dissipate—the translucent layers of pigmented resin resembling glass-like pools that vary in depth and opacity. Volume, repetition, and scale are integral to Fleming’s process as the individual elements are duplicated to create immersive, rhythmic patterns. Collectively, the installations appear to undulate, confronting the viewer’s visual perception and activating the actual physical space.
About the artist:
Paul Fleming lives and works in Houston, Texas. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 1995.
