Diane Rosenstein Gallery is pleased to announce Heather Day: Ricochet, a solo exhibition of paintings and works on paper by the California artist.
Heather Day makes abstract paintings comprised of scraped, smeared, and flooded pools of pigment. This is the artist's first LA solo show. Created during the pandemic, the show title, “Ricochet” refers to the artist’s process of navigating her compositions as one mark leads to the next, without a predestined resolution. It is also a metaphor for the global chain of reactions in our natural environment, social and cultural space, and intuitive relationships with each other.

Ricochet examines the boundaries of intention, exploring the opposing forces of control and chaos in my practice which carry a painting towards its endpoint.

INSTALLATION VIEWS

The instant the medium I use to express a marking leaves my brush, or my paint can, the element of control dissipates and revolves into a spectrum of chaos, like a stone that hits a pane of still water before skipping over the ripples it creates.
