Justin Adian and Richard Tinkler: POLYCHROME brings together two distinct artistic practices that engage color as both material and conceptual force, inviting viewers to experience the expressive potential of abstraction through richly layered surfaces, dynamic compositions, and inventive approaches to form.
While each artist employs a unique visual language, POLYCHROME explores the shared capacity of color to shape perception, evoke emotion, and transform space. Through painting, sculpture, and material experimentation, Adian and Tinkler investigate the relationships between structure and spontaneity, geometry and gesture, surface and depth. Adian and Tinkler met at the University of North Texas decades ago, yet this is the first time their works are being shown together.
Adian is recognized for his sculptural paintings that blur the boundaries between object and image. Using stretched canvas, industrial materials, and vibrant color, his work challenges conventional notions of painting while emphasizing texture, physicality, and formal precision.
Tinkler's work embraces an intuitive and process-driven approach to abstraction. Through energetic compositions and sophisticated color relationships, his paintings reveal an ongoing dialogue between chance and control, resulting in works that are both visually immersive and emotionally resonant.
Presented together, POLYCHROME highlights the enduring vitality of contemporary abstraction and demonstrates how color can serve simultaneously as subject, structure, and sensation.
