Stanley Boydston

From the outlines, curves and objects of his earlier career to the parallel lines he sees as he gazes at the ocean and the role water plays in all life, Stanley Boydston’s journey has been an eclectic, continually emerging, and gratifying one.

Here, paintings of the same series that were shown at the Venice Biennale, “Rincon, Low Tide,” will bathe the eye in a rhythm of luscious colors and lines that seem to favor the act of mark-making over truth to the subject. In this place, truth abides as time exhales.

I’m looking at the light, and I’m looking at the horizon, and I’m looking at the color relationship between the sky and the horizon. As abstract as these paintings get, I’ve seen that.
— Stanley Boydston
