- **Event Name**: Opening for "Curtis Ripley: High Fidelity"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: William Turner Gallery is pleased to present Curtis Ripley: High Fidelity, an exhibition of new paintings by Curtis Ripley opening April 25, 5-8 PM, and on view through June 20, 2026. The exhibition unfolds as a visual composition: lyrical, atmospheric, and finely attuned to the rhythms of perception.In Ripley’s paintings, glimmers of paint flicker and flare across darkened grounds, activating the surface with a sense of movement and light. Gestural curls and swirls interact with lines and dashes that guide the viewer’s eye in a choreographed passage across the picture plane. These marks are not merely expressive—they are structural, establishing a sense of tempo and poetic cadence that gives each work its internal coherence.Forms in Ripley’s work do not resolve immediately. They hover, coalesce, and dissolve, shifting in and out of focus as the viewer’s attention lingers. Color behaves similarly: shapes emerge from the ground only to recede again, creating a continuous interplay between presence and disappearance. The result is a dynamic tension between flatness and depth that remains deliberately unsettled.This instability gives rise to a pronounced sense of atmosphere. Gestural forms drift across layered fields of tone, while Ripley’s palette moves between moments of luminous intensity and expanses of saturated darkness. Subtle gradations of color produce fleeting effects—recalling distant light, reflective shimmer, or the charged stillness of a landscape at dusk. The paintings unfold perceptually, revealing themselves over time rather than at a glance.Ripley’s practice occupies a space between the gestural immediacy of Abstract Expressionism and the immersive chromatic sensibility of Color Field painting. His work synthesizes these traditions into a contemporary language grounded in process, layering, and revision. While resonant with historical explorations of light and atmosphere, his paintings remain distinctly present—open-ended, responsive, and experiential. Presented concurrently with Unrepentant Beauty by Roland Reiss, High Fidelity offers a complementary approach to perception—one grounded not in constructed illusion, but in painterly sensation and temporal experience.Throughout a career spanning more than four decades, Curtis Ripley has exhibited nationally and internationally, with an extensive record of solo exhibitions. Born in Lubbock, Texas in 1949, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1975.
