TONE UP From China

The opposition of light and dark, the juxtaposition of texture and color, and the collective effect of these aspects overlapping one another are dominant themes in Alarah Gee’s new series of ink drawings. And, they also signal an evolution in the artist’s process and philosophy: venturing away from her education in traditional color theory, here Gee tries to find her own sense of visual equilibrium by balancing abstract forms and color contrasts.
