Way, Shape, and Form: Small Abstract Paintings

Way, Shape, and Form—Small Abstract Paintings, an exhibition by Bill Schmidt, featured a selection of paintings in gouache embellished with colored pencil and water-soluble crayon. The selected works displayed Schmidt’s signature miniature, geometric paintings ranging in size from 4×4″ to 7×5″. By placing bold and intricate designs on small-scale works, Schmidt’s work creates an environment in which the viewer and art can intimately co-exist. In this environment, the two-dimensional, abstract shapes reference illusions of space and form.
