Deborah Remington's Cryptic Paintings and Drawings Featured in Wallspace Exhibition

From June 26 to August 7, 2015, the Wallspace gallery in New York City hosted an exhibition featuring the works of Deborah Remington, curated by Jay Gorney. This showcase included three sizable paintings and twelve drawings created between 1963 and 1983, emphasizing her distinctive visual style. Key pieces on display were March (1964), Memphis (1969), and Dorset (1973). The drawings, derived from the Soot Series with carbon black and red oxide, and the Adelphi Series using pencil and crayon, further illustrated her artistic range. Remington (1930-2010), who studied calligraphy in Japan during the 1950s and relocated to New York in 1965, played a crucial role in the development of abstract painting, merging clarity with poetic intricacy and echoing Machine Age design and Marcel Duchamp’s ideas.
