TRAVIS RICE
With “Pure Fluff”, Travis Rice presents a brand new body of work in an entirely new sculptural direction in the Bentley Gallery project room. The exhibition features wall works of resin, foam, and acrylic that offer sumptuous and high-relief surfaces undulating under an electric color palette. With evocative titles like “Cinnamon Sunrise”, “Apple Burst”, and “Juicy Fruit”, these artworks employ color-shifting paints and masterfully applied gradients that reward multiple viewings across several angles.
