The Quest for Color's Ideal | Chicago News

Two artists chase the impossible ideal of color in “Polychrome,” where Justin Adian’s soft, organic forms burst with saturated hues and Richard Tinkler’s precise grid paintings dissect color like a mathematician. Their contrasting styles—emotional and tactile versus analytical and structured—dance together in the gallery, blurring the line between process and product. Titles like “Cuddle Puddle” vs. “LWSF5B16.2” tease at the mystery of artistic intent, while site-specific pieces like Adian’s “Sentinel” remind us to see wonder in the mundane. It’s a meditation on color’s metaphysical pull: an eternal pursuit that leaves us both exhilarated and haunted by what remains just out of reach.
