From Ro2 Gallery:
“Join us this Saturday in celebration of the newest exhibition at Ro2 Art in The Cedars. Repetition of form is explored through delicate and striking ways in the upcoming two-person show, Side by Side.
Kathy Robinson-Hays treats acrylic like watercolor, creating diaphanous veils of pigment that float across the surface. The artist’s patterning is formed through organic abstraction with areas where pigment is built-up to a thickness reminiscent of Braille. The works are ethereal, with some forms floating on transparent fabric stretched across wire. Biomorphic marks resembling ferns or spider-webs grow in the eaves of the repeating dots. The delicate interplay of form and material expresses an exquisite calm.
Terry Hays creates work from an amalgam of symbols, colors, and stylized natural elements that form a chaotic yet harmonious rhythm. Inspired by seafaring cultures from around the world, religion, street art, tattoos, outsider art, and James Hampton’s Throne of the Third Heaven, Hays transforms and combines source imagery into a new visual language. Contrasting colors vibrating with movement crawl across the substrates suggesting animate flora. Meticulously worked designs, surpassing the elaborateness of cloisonné transform the surface into epic narratives of color. Through this new vernacular, Hays seeks to redefine the urban and rural landscapes that surround him.”
