HIGH VISIBILITY brings together artists whose work embraces color at its most vivid and immediate. Through bold form, saturated palettes, and strong compositions, the exhibition explores color as a tool for directing attention, shaping perception, and creating visual presence.
Spanning abstraction and representation, the artists use color in different ways, as structure, material, atmosphere, and subject. Optical effects, pattern, gesture, and form each offer a different approach, but every work shares an immediacy that demands to be looked at.
Rather than focusing on a single style, HIGH VISIBILITY highlights artists who use color with intention and conviction. Together, the works demonstrate the many ways chromatic intensity can command attention and transform the experience of looking.
About the Curator
Charlotte Hailstone (b. 1994, Baltimore) is a New York-based artist and curator whose work engages the perceptual possibilities of color and surface. Trained in communication design at Parsons School of Design, her practice reflects a graphic sensibility grounded in composition, clarity, and calibrated color relationships. Her early work with resin and acrylic sculptural prototypes initiated an interest in how visual structures behave when they shift between dimensional states, informing the visual language she continues to develop in paint. Hailstone’s work draws connections to Color Field painting, Op Art, and the Light and Space movement, while incorporating contemporary references through palette and form. Her paintings and curations have been featured at The Hole, Marinaro Gallery, Ruby Dakota Gallery, Harper’s, 81 Leonard Gallery, Galerie Vallois, Ryan Hastings Gallery, and Salon 21, as well as at Future Fair in New York. In addition to her studio practice, she is a curator producing exhibitions that support emerging to mid-career artists.
