CELEBRATION OF COLOR

Color takes center stage in this selection of works by Guzzo Pinc, Lon Michels, Marion Coffey, and Ben Grant. Each artist uses color in a distinctive way—bold, expressive, playful, or richly layered—to create work filled with energy and visual impact. 

From Pinc's richly textured, graphic compositions and Michels's playful, expressive imagery to Coffey's luminous, joyful abstractions and Grant's bold use of pattern and form, each artist demonstrates a unique command of color. Whether vibrant and exuberant or subtle and layered, these four artists show how color can transform a work of art—and the space around it.
