Even the subtlest addition of pigment
to pure color can radically change
its intensity, but rarely does it
increase the intensity. Add light to
the palette of pigments and color
theory becomes anachronistic. I won’t
hold a color theorist’s hand to the
candle; after all, they lacked the
insight that the Los Angeles artists,
known as the “Light and Space” group,
developed with the use of plastics
and aerospace materials and their
associated translucent properties.
The limitations of luminescence are
detonated and the “painting” now has
the power to burn our retina.
Steve Burtch is from a generation of
artists that is looking at the optical
effects that the SOCAL group deployed
in the 60s and is conjuring these
optical effects through a deeper
exploration of the possibilities that
the technological advancement of
materials has released. The essence
is still simplicity, allowing the
intrinsic properties of the materials
to do the heavy lifting; much the way
a great chef allows their ingredients
to caress the palette.
These minimal white works are
composed of bands of acrylic white
paint articulated through three
layers of translucent acrylic sheets
backed by a layer of mirrored
acrylic. As the viewer “reads,” or
in a sense “listens” to the rhythm
of the painting, notes are muted or
emphasized by the paints proximity to
the surface. As light travels through
the layers and reflects back through
the acrylic, the result is an optical
reverb, Burtch the maestro.
