Color as both a linguistic sign and a perceptual phenomena occupies both two and three-dimensional space with most of these works. Not just a conversation about the formal history of abstraction (a fallacy about absolutism and other terms marked with a capital letter) but rather they seem more about relations/relationships both within particular works (blending/stepping (analog/digital concern about space and time currently)) as well as in between works. These grouped artists are one possibility. Yellow as a through-line in linguistic terms, a signifier for light itself concerning impressions, expressions, and a range of symbols, all of which oscillate yet don't quite resolve within any one of these works shown here top to bottom. A question could be, is color an adjective or a noun?
