The art of seeing

PACE GALLERY

Mary Corse

Acclaimed American artist Mary Corse gets her first exhibition in Asia through Pace Gallery at H Queen's, and will show eight newly painted works that play to her strengths – perception, properties of light and ideas of abstraction. Corse uses glass microspheres (like those embedded in paint on roads that make the white lines glow when struck by car headlights) in a limited palette of black, white and red acrylic paint to create simple geometric configurations that take on greater-than-conventional luminescence. As a result, Corse's work doesn't simply represent light; it embodies, refracts, shifts and tilts it, depending on the viewer's position and movement. (March 25–May 11)
