Bolles Biography

The recent work of Tom Bolles continues his exploration of light, color, and surface.  Bolles combines the painterly approach of his earlier minimal acrylics with the tinted epoxy resins used in recent monochromatic pieces.  With this combination Bolles achieves a greater luminosity and a seductive finish while maintaining the subtle qualities of paint.

Bolles incorporates text and numbers into several paintings in the exhibition, as he has done in the past, but here the context is more timely; one diptych lists the number of American and Iraqi dead in the current Middle East conflict.  "While one rarely finds topical material in minimal art," says Bolles, "the events of our times apparently seep into every genre of work."
