Tad Wiley Reception Tomorrow, HWY 90 Gallery

A reception for New York-based artist Tad Wiley will be held Friday April 21 from 6 to 8.30. Wiley’s paintings are composed of layers of translucent color applied to smooth surfaces. (Example here.) The work is animated by the tension between imposing, stark geometric shapes and shimmering layers of color. Wiley’s work will be display at the gallery until June 2. HWY 90 Gallery, which opened in 2005, is located in a storefront that was recently renovated by Marfa mayor David Lanman. The gallery is located across the street from Donald Judd’s private residence (commonly called the Block). More info here.
