White Light

Laura Newman's paintings combine geometric delineations of space, ephemeral color fields, dynamic lines and organic forms, resulting in atmospheric images evocative of representational landscapes, but always opening up to something more, something beyond.

In White Light, complementary squares of green and red set up a color reaction that evokes the illusion of white light.  A sequence of colored squares wrap around a white space shot through with prism-like columns of liquid paint.
