The “splendor” and joy of color parallel sensations of the season filled with heat, sun, and outdoor pleasures. Frank Owen’s 10x12 foot diptych “Herald” is symbolic of the exhibition and delivers the punch of color regally. A multi-paletted abstract work of heroic scale, color is a major consideration as the artist composes his work over months of painting, building up layers of acrylic in verso. Embraced by the warmth of its colors the viewer comes away from “Herald” with the sensation of satiety, not unlike having had an exquisitely balanced alchemical meal, or having heard a perfectly played symphony, and wanting more.
