Hero](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/Pearson-An-effective-low-cost-gouache-2004-hero.jpg) Bruce Pearson An effective low-cost gouache, 2004 (detail) Description Bruce Pearson, refining his signature style, continues to reinvent abstraction with increasing complexity and subtlety as he introduces new themes. Constructed on Styrofoam panels, the paintings are fields of sensuous color and intricately creviced surfaces, with visceral impact and optical effects. Pearson’s paintings, and related drawings, are based on text, reworked photo images, and abstractions that are woven together to the point of near indecipherability.
