Every month, hundreds of galleries add newly available works by thousands of artists to the Artnet Gallery Network—and every week, we shine a spotlight on one artist you should know. Check out what we have in store, and inquire for more with one simple click.Over his 30-year career, the Canadian contemporary artist Michael Batty has consistently pursued the expressive potential of color.
The artist’s first solo exhibition with Vancouver’s Gallery Jones brings together several bodies of work the artist has been developing over the past four years, all of which experiment with hues within seemingly strict parameters.This vibrantly colorful show, titled “Same Difference,” brings together three recent series. A number of works from Batty’s ongoing “Tone Poems” are on view, which explore the relationship between color, pattern, music, and language.
Lastly, the show features “Standard: Scored,” a series of monochromatic laser etchings made by light scorching thick paper, which in many ways are the compositional building blocks of the other series.“By working with set variables such as pattern and geometric constrictions, Batty is discovering limitless possibilities within variances of color and composition.
