Salon 94, New York
"Cheops" by Marina Adams, 2018
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth has announced FOCUS: Marina Adams, on view March 27 to May 24. Contemporary artist Marina Adams will show seven abstract paintings from the past four years, described as immersive in scale, alongside recent small-scale gouache-on-paper works from her New York series.
“Adams explores the relationship between color and shape in her acrylic-on-linen paintings, where organic forms of solid color abut and interlock,” The Modern says in a news release. “Her work balances organization and improvisation; she sketches out her compositions before she paints, but there is an immediacy made obvious by loose, confident brushstrokes, where drips and bands of color overlap.”
Adams was born in Orange, New Jersey, in 1960 and lives between New York and Parma, Italy. Her paintings focus on textile design and architecture. "Pattern is a language that crosses boundaries. It offers common ground,” Adams says in the release.
The FOCUS series is organized by the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and features three solo exhibitions each year. The series, started in 2005, aims to introduce visitors to significant contemporary artists with worldwide acclaim who have not been widely exhibited in the area.
FOCUS exhibitions are open to the public and included in general admission. Learn more at themodern.org/exhibition/category/FOCUS/277.
