Selected Works: Peter Dayton • Robert Kelly • Rex Lau • Alan Shields • Kelly Spalding
From March 22 through April 30, 2007, The Drawing Room is pleased to present paintings and mixed media works by Peter Dayton, Robert Kelly, Rex Lau, Alan Shields and Kelly Spalding. This group exhibition highlights five artists whose diverse sources of inspiration generate surprising convergences in their formal use of color, pattern and geometry, as well as technique and sensibility. That each artist is distinctly engaged with the canon of 20th century abstraction underscores its ongoing vitality in the discourse of contemporary art.
