Colour and Rhythm: William Perehudoff: Online Viewing Room

"Colour is what these pictures are about. It is always inventive and often extraordinary... They are energetic but carefully balanced configurations of intense colour... Perehudoff says he prefers paintings "with a kind of pulse"." - Karen Wilken

Perehudoff merged his post-painterly concerns of the 1960s alongside a more active surface, consisting of gel acrylic paint compounds. In the quiet dialogue between diluted pigment and dense, tactile surface, the artist’s hand becomes both concealed and insistent all at once.
