Surface Tension explores how color, repetition, and constructed form can make a still surface feel restless.
Curves and angles establish different visual tempos. Repeated forms create continuity, while shifts in direction and tone interrupt it. The eye moves between reading an image and sensing a physical object.
Looking becomes an active process. The viewer steps back to follow a composition, then approaches to examine the relationships between its forms.
Oliver Cole Gallery presents Surface Tension, a solo exhibition by Jack Tanner exploring the relationship between color, repetition, and constructed form.
Flowing rhythms, circular contours, and angular structures create a changing visual tempo. Repeated forms establish patterns that shifts in direction and tone continually interrupt.
Viewers are invited to look from different distances and consider how contour, shadow, and color organize the surface. The exhibition approaches perception as an active encounter between the viewer and the work.
