Stories in Color
John PlattNew York, NY - Apr 04, 2024 - Jul 12, 2024
Uprise Art is pleased to present Stories in Color, a solo exhibition of works by John Platt, exhibited at 211 East 43rd Street in collaboration with Alchemy Properties.
Stories in Color stands as a testament to the pivotal role of color in the artist's oeuvre, serving as a conduit for evocative narratives within each artwork. In Platt's prismatic paintings, undulating vertical bands of oil paint are arranged against a backdrop of white canvas. This deliberate contrast accentuates the vibrancy of each hue, immersing the viewer in a deeply emotive experience. Inspired by his personal experiences and keen observations as an artist, Platt's creations serve as vessels for storytelling, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of sources including architecture, fashion, music, photography, and film. Through his abstract compositions, Platt deftly utilizes color as a tool for narrative expression and conceptual exploration, uniting disparate influences into a harmonious visual narrative.
