Denver—Stand in front of a work of art and what do you see? The surface? The shapes? The colors? Or something deeper? Space Gallery announces a show that challenges our perceptions of form in Beyond the Plane, opening Thursday, July 30th in the gallery’s exhibition hall.

Rejecting preconceptions about conventional 2D surfaces, the works—from renowned artists Patricia Aaron, Judy Campbell, Howard Hersh, Lewis McInnis, Duane Noblett and Stephen Shachtman—explore structures that blur the line between form and execution.

“To limit our perceptions to the surface of an artwork is to sell ourselves short,” says gallerist Michael Burnett. “It robs us of the ability to follow color and shape deeper into the work…to make the journey from sight to idea as the artist intended—where the most interesting stuff is.”

Beyond the Plane’s works will make unique demands of the viewer; an ask to find the presence in form, medium and process to discover the artist’s vision beyond it. This is a transforming of conventional space in which geometric forms appear and disappear; an environment where shapes reach out beyond the canvases’ boundaries to create presence in an expected plane.

“Think of the collection as an invitation to a surprising conversation,” Burnett concludes: “a dialog that begins on a surface level, and ends up deeper than you might have expected. That’s the best part of an experience like this one—winding up in a different, more interesting place than where you started.”

The exhibit runs through Labor Day weekend at Space Gallery, 400 Santa Fe Drive, the southernmost anchor of the thriving Santa Fe Arts District.
