Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of paintings by D. Jack Solomon titled ALL IN GOOD TIME. This is his first solo exhibition with the gallery and a reception will be held on May 21st from 6-8pm.
Solomon's newest paintings are complex, richly colored geometric abstractions with a debt to Kandinsky and the Bauhaus. His traditional constructive sensibility is infused with personality and wit. Lines and circles create rhythm and movement, while arbitrary geometric forms such as checkered spheres, striped ovals, and architectural fragments float in and out of the canvas, creating visual depth without illusionistic space. Many of these forms seem to develop personalities, conversing across the canvas in a geometric language all their own.
D. Jack Solomon has shown at numerous galleries nationally and internationally including Rolf Nelson Gallery, LA; Jefferson Place Gallery, Washington DC; James Yu Gallery, NYC; Pam Adler Galleries, NYC; and at Gallerie Taksu, KL, Malaysia. He has also exhibited widely in the Upstate New York and Berkshire regions including at John Davis Gallery, Hudson NY; AD-D Gallery, Hudson NY; and Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson, NY; ThompsonGiroux, Chatham, NY; Carrie Chen Gallery, Great Barrington, MA; The Albany Center Galleries, Albany, NY; 68 Prince Street, Kingston NY; and Lockwood Gallery, Kingston NY. Solomon is the recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist grant and the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant for painting. He received his MA in painting from San Francisco State University. At 92 years of age Solomon is working in the studio most days. He resides in Hudson NY with his wife, painter, Jeanette Fintz.
