Description
This exhibition surveys Solomon's evolution over the past five years, from abstract paintings influenced by Jack Bush. He began to dismantle the language he had inherited from Bush, and to re-examine the nature of illusion, questioning equally depth, and modernism's assumptions about flatness.
