“Spectrum”

Gallery Perrotin in Hong Kong will soon launch a solo exhibition by the New York-based artist, Josh Sperling. Entitled “Spectrum,” the presentation features a selection of new sculptural paintings in various forms and placement. Sperling expands his dynamic practice of defying conventional artmaking by going beyond the canvas, and instead, conceptualizing abstract pieces that suggest movement and recall natural phenomena.

The artist’s works pay homage to the fellow artist and friend, Frank Stella, who was best known for his shaped paintings that were often rendered in L, U, N, or T shapes using aluminum and copper paint materials. Like Stella, Sperling pushes the physical limitations of painting, especially in this latest presentation that acts as an immersive installation with monumental installations of his squiggles that slowly shift in hue from red to violet or from orange to yellow.

The exhibition runs from May 8 through June 12.
