High Noon is pleased to present David Rhodes's first exhibition with the gallery, Aletheia. For nearly two decades, Rhodes has devoted his practice to a strict but dynamic painting register. The construction is straightforward— several different widths of tape are applied laterally in diagonals atop raw canvas and covered entirely with black acrylic paint. The tape is then removed, revealing the immediacy of the image. While seemingly uniform, the black is mixed with a medium that provides a slight luster and applied with a series of gestural marks. The marks only become visible under certain light conditions that cast a soft sheen across the surface, amplifying the work’s analog presence and warmly contrasting the austerity of their optical impact.
