"THE ALCHEMY OF COLOR" BY VENUZ WHITE

Leonard Tourné Gallery and Spoon invite you the opening reception of Colombian artist Venuz White and her first solo exhibition in New York, "The Alchemy of Color." The opening reception will be held this Friday, March 9 from 6:30 to 9:30pm at our Soho location at 463 Broome Street. Music will be provided by Sheik 'N' Beik and the Low Pitch Orchestra.

White, best known for her vibrant, abstract paintings that resemble the cosmos, will be exhibiting two bodies of work, Vaho and Sideral. The Vaho series was created using White's own breath. Blowing pigmented bubbles onto board, White pursued an investigation of color, its movement and its evolution. The work is complemented by Sideral, which combines videos and lightboxes that further White's study of color.

Together the works form a compilation of new pictorial techniques based largely on the origin of the universe and its creation.
