  • This abstract painting shows dabs of blue, gray, white, black, and yellow paint which look as if they have been sponged on to the canvas densely.

This two-gallery exhibition features abstract paintings on canvas and paper by Colleen Randall, including new works created in 2018 and 2019 alongside slightly earlier works from her Immanence and Syncope series. The show begins on January 2, 2020 and will run through May 31. Professor Randall will deliver a lecture titled "The Abstract Sublime: Vision and Process" in the Hood Museum's Gilman Auditorium on Thursday, January 30, at 4:45 pm. She will discuss her practice as an abstract painter whose work explores natural space and light in relation to human consciousness through the materiality of paint. A reception will follow. This exhibition is organized by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, and is generously supported by the Bernard R. Siskind Fund and the Eleanor Smith Fund.
