Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to present Seeing Red, a group exhibition that explores the psychological power, cultural symbolism, and formal intensity of the color red through the work of seven contemporary artists. Since red is the color of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger, and courage. Modern surveys in Europe and the United States show red is also the color most commonly associated with heat, activity, passion, sexuality, anger, love, and joy. In China, India, and other Asian countries, this color is often associated with happiness and fortune.
This exhibition brings together diverse voices that each confront the evocative presence of red within their practices. From bold abstraction to the figurative narrative, the artists in this exhibition utilize red to evoke emotional registers, drawing viewers into a range of varied visual languages and mediums. Featured works include assume vivid astro focus, Hernan Bas, Raúl Cordero, Noah Cribb, Elena Dorfman, Alexander Kroll, Marielle Plaisir, Ema Ri and Lázaro Saavedra
