Marjorie Kaye's Indivisible Bursts
Boston's Galatea Gallery
By: Galatea - Jan 11, 2025
Galatea Fine Art announces a solo exhibition of paintings by Marjorie Kaye “Indivisible Bursts”, from March 7-30th. There will be an opening reception on Friday, March 7th, from 6-8pm.
In Marjorie Kaye’s recent body of work, she has been isolating shapes to examine and delve further into their nature. She is finding limitless potential in particular intuitive algorithms, with an infinite number of patterns that can be determined from the visual arrangement of mathematical suggestions. In this new series, space is broken down as it emerges from the center. There is a combination of organic and geometric sensibilities, and although there is a tip of the hat to symmetry, it is not always prevalent. It is the previous shape that determines the responding one, and regardless of the intense detail, there is not always precision involved.
Kaye builds sequences, adding to a primary shape, with each successive form getting larger and more complex, mirroring growth from cellular beginnings to complex formation. Her gouache paintings manifest similarly to an explosion of a geode. The commonality of momentum is what drives each work and results from the exploration of the one before it. They are one continuous piece, accessible fractals. Details emerge from one basic pattern into a vast array of shapes. It is a net that captures and comprises the structure of the material universe, as well as that which can only be sensed
Artist’s Statement
Starbursts
In my recent body of work, I have been isolating the shapes inherent in my paintings to examine and delve further into their nature. I am finding limitless potential in particular intuitive algorithms, with an infinite number of patterns that can be determined from the visual arrangement of mathematical suggestions. In this new series, space is broken down as it emerges from the center. There is a combination of organic and geometric sensibilities, and although there is a tip of the hat to symmetry, it is not always prevalent. It is the previous shape that determines the responding one, and regardless of the intense detail, there is not always precision involved.
I build sequences, adding to a primary shape, with each successive form getting larger and more complex, mirroring growth from cellular beginnings to complex formation. My gouache paintings manifest similarly to an explosion of a Geode form. The commonality of momentum is what drives each work and results from the exploration of the one before it. They are one continuous piece, accessible fractals. Details emerge from one basic pattern into a vast array of shapes, some of which approach the recognizable. It is a net that captures and also comprises the structure of the material universe.
