Hero](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/Pearson-Wiggle-and-twitch-2003-hero.jpg) Bruce Pearson Wiggle and twitch, 2003 (detail) Description Bruce Pearson, one of the leading exponents of contemporary painting, will exhibit new work at the Feldman Gallery. The paintings are color-charged abstractions based on text and image transformed to the verge of subliminal meaning. Elaborately constructed on carved and layered Styrofoam slabs, the creviced wall reliefs are overall fields of intricate patterning and optical rhythms. Gouache drawings on paper that relate to the paintings will also be exhibited.
