Al Held: LUMINOUS CONSTRUCTS
David Klein Gallery, Detroit, is pleased to announce the opening of Al Held: LUMINOUS CONSTRUCTS - Paintings and Watercolors From The 1990s. The gallery's exhibition will include five large scale paintings and eight watercolors. Al Held's massive painting, Orion V - 1991 (measuring 9 by 16 feet), Geocentric IV - 1990, and Ducio VIII - 1991, represent the core of the exhibition and are also some of the artist's major aesthetic achievements of the early 1990s. Held started making watercolors in 1988 after he purchased a home in Camerata di Todi, Italy. The watercolors are an intimate and contemporary response to the great Renaissance painting that surrounded him in Italy.

James Collins: Solo Exhibition Opening Reception
Simone DeSousa Gallery is pleased to present "exploring the tributaries," James Collins' first solo exhibition in Detroit, opening Saturday, March 17, with a reception from 6-9 pm. Detroit-based artist James Collins is known for minimalist op art and abstract works that are created through a variety of imaginative processes that embody chemistry and chance. These processes create a spacious and gestural sense of predictable unpredictability. In his multidimensional line-heavy chance-based works, Collins applies a custom process in which oil paint and water-based acrylic interact in a fluid state and repel each other.
Opening Reception, Saturday March 17th, 6-9pm.
[Midtwon, Detroit]

Show runs through April 15th.
