Nicole Mauser: Kinematic
@ DOVA Temporary
5228 S Harper Ave, Chicago, IL 60615
Opening Friday, April 1st, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, April 23rd
For this body of work the artist takes on chroma—the quality of color combining hue and saturation as subject. The paintings on view derive from a viewing experience that impressed itself upon Mauser. While at a screening of Joseph Cornell films the projector jammed. The black and white film melted on screen becoming a burst of color in one brief instance. Taking a clue from Wittgenstein, Mauser seeks repulsion and seduction by exaggerating the color intensity in her paintings.
