Deanna Evans Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Dan Perkins, Passages. The new work channels architectural motifs that connote space: crossing through a threshold, gazing through a window, passing from one plane to another. However the spaces depicted sit in an ethereal haze, where color and form are primary. Scale, time and space are all negotiable, up to the viewer to frame and understand.

Perkins works serially across compositional pairs and triads ranging through color and light as an expressive and descriptive phenomenon. The tension between the structure of the geometry and the fluidity of light creates an interesting paradox. Material and atmosphere seem one and the same, and the bodily nature of existence perhaps dissipates, allowing an extensive and encompassing understanding of the world. 

The paintings beckon and shimmer, inviting the viewer to enter their space and dwell.
