D'Arcy Simpson Art Works Presents: Chromatic Scale by Michael Simpson

Michael Simpson continues his rigorous series of color field paintings in his latest show “Chromatic Scale.” These paintings explore color relationships and interactions in ways that transcend the physical material, creating a psychological, emotive effect. Each color is improvised and organically mixed, their surfaces vacillating between translucency and opacity. He then assembles 4 panels that uniquely interact and vibrate as a cohesive piece, similar to a musician playing individual notes at once to create a chord. “Chromatic Scale” is on view at D'Arcy Simpson Art Works from April 29-June 1, with an artist reception on May 6th, 2-4pm.
