Darren Waterston: Representing the Invisible
Representing the Invisible surveys Waterston's paintings in oil and watercolor from 2002 to 2006, a period in which the artist's approach to landscape gradually moved toward pure painterly abstraction. The power of this work, as David Pagel writes, "resides in its fluidity, its capacity to dissolve hard-line distinctions between the substance of material reality and the power of the imagination." As the accompanying essays argue, however, this abstraction has in no way abandoned the world: Waterston's work has remained deeply engaged with nature and the natural sciences, the history of art, Western and Eastern philosophy, and the perceptual experiences of the artist and viewer alike.
