Press Release

Cris Worley Fine Arts is pleased to present our first solo exhibition of minimalistic paintings by Houston-based artist Kristen Cliburn. Gaps, Bands and Zigzags opens with an artist’s reception Saturday, June 28th from 6 – 8pm and will run through August 2nd, 2014.  

Kristen Cliburn’s immaculately executed canvases are visual distillations of the natural world. Cliburn views the work as allusions to the physical world through the “subtle isolation of color and light”. Their deceptively minimal appearance quickly gives way to an intense depth of presence, followed by an unanticipated sensory experience. Requiring the act of “slow seeing” Cliburn’s paintings can be positively transformative, calling on the viewer to stop, be still and contemplate.

Kristen Cliburn received her BFA in Painting at the University of Texas, Austin and her MFA in Painting from the University of Houston. She has participated in over 50 group and solo exhibitions, including several juried shows. Selected jurors include Rock Hushka (Curator of Contemporary & Northwest Art – Tacoma Art Museum), Irene Hofmann (Director & Chief Curator – SITE Santa Fe), Dave Hickey (Independent Art Critic), Larissa Harris (Curator – Queens Museum of Art), Miranda Lash (Curator of Contemporary & Modern Art – New Orleans Museum of Art).
