James Turrell

James Turrell will feature two unique aperture wall installations by the artist, which draw attention to the presence of light and its transformation of viewers’ perception of space. This is the first exhibition at the gallery’s location within The Royal Poinciana Plaza, which will be programmed through spring 2021. James Turrell will be on view during Palm Beach’s New Wave Art Wknd, a non-commercial event celebrating the flourishing contemporary art scene in South Florida.

The works in this presentation vary in scale, shape, and color, and exemplify Turrell’s ongoing investigation into the materiality of light and dedication to engaging viewers with the limits and wonder of human perception. Each work features a unique composition comprising a temporal element in which hundreds of vivid combinations of colors seep into each other as they slowly shift over time. Together, the works create an immersive and changing light-filled environment and a place for meditation, introspection, and awe.

Currently, Turrell is working on his magnum opus: the Roden Crater project. Located in the Painted Desert region of Northern Arizona, Roden Crater is a monumental artwork created within a volcanic cinder that represents the culmination of the artist’s lifelong research in the field of human visual and psychological perception.
