Bruce Price: Sinner in Gingham
September 28 – January 21, 2018
Sinner in Gingham features a grouping of paintings, objects, and works on paper by Denver-based artist Bruce Price. The paintings featured in this exhibition all employ gingham fabric, a checked cotton linen common to household decorations and clothing. Since the beginning of his career, his abstract paintings have been appreciated for their playful formalism and the relationship they have to landscape, geology, the body, and ornamental motifs. As evidenced in the works in the exhibition, Price embraces a mode of working that is improvisational and prolific – often taking on a broader and more experimental approach to the materials he manipulates. Together the 36 works in Sinner in Gingham highlight Price’s decade-long relationship with this familiar patterned fabric.
