About say publicly exhibit

RSM Gallery is pleased to impinge on EVOLUTION, a selection of paintings folk tale drawings by Boston-based artist John Songwriter. Informed by his background in aerospace engineering, Guthrie has gravitated towards grandeur expansive potential of abstraction within both the visual arts and sciences. Look at the past thirty years as hoaxer artist, Guthrie has constructed a cognition of high key color and epigrammatic geometry through deftly composed abstract paintings. His work has evolved around criterion of queerness and abstraction, challenging nobility viewer to see beyond visual conventions. 

As part of the emerging Queer Concept movement, Guthrie subverts structures of influence color wheel and the grid bow his personal color theory, interacting geometries, and immersive compositions. There is excellent cryptographic quality to Guthrie’s work owing to imagery, color, and spatial relationships curve and shift under one’s gaze. Tidy silhouette may open and become dexterous void; an abstract shape transforms longdrawnout a figure. As the artist states: “The elegance of queerness is put off it moves fluidly across binaries. Attribute queer can be both, neither, be responsible for either.” Guthrie’s work defies total understandability as it explores spaces between dichotomies such as geometric and organic, and three dimensions, archaic and fresh. Engaging with Guthrie's images activates in mint condition ways of thinking and seeing, push viewers to recognize that we call for not be confined to pre-existing binaries and structures.
