BLACK & WHITE & RED ALL OVER

A two-person exhibition featuring works on paper by Stephen Dean and Anne Deleporte curated by Sara Reisman. Black and White and Red All Over will be showcased in the three spaces of Galerie l’Inlassable.

Dean and Deleporte are multi-media artists whose recent artwork converges around the use of color as an immersive device for reading political subjectivity.

In her use of a limited palette, Deleporte’s light blue Murals and Black paintings series is an ongoing exercise in reading the newspaper for its visual content. Painting black and blue,some gold, over all but a selection of images, she transforms The New York
Times from news media into surrealist/dadaist rebus through a process of obscuration and filtration.

Dean’s recent artworks demonstrate how diagrams, dabs of paint, and pushpins, among other material, suggest archaic systems of meaning, from his Jugglers and You are Here, to his large-scale Crosswords that are flecked with drops of watercolor to create patterns that can be read as maps and textiles.

Both Dean and Deleporte reinforce how critical the use of color codifies cultures
