March 29, 1976: Jeff Spalding
Jeff Spalding is exhibiting these beautiful, two foot square, black paintings in the Anna Leonowens Gallery. They are ‘process paintings’ made by painting many thin coats of two transparent colours- opposites like orange and green, until optically the painting appears black.
The only indication of his specific colour choices is evident through the drips on the side of the stretchers which also accounts for the subtle differences of the hue of the black.
