High Noon is pleased to present Rafael Plaisant’s NYC solo debut, Playground. In his acrylic works on linen and gouache drawings, Plaisant explores texture and movement within a structural framework that nods to multi-cultural architectural and ritualistic elements. Pulling from high and low-brow interchangeably, the almost symmetrical, shrine-like systems are never pre-planned, but manage to inconspicuously bridge a range of influences. Beginning with washes, bold shapes become built into or upon, merging gestural, automatic, sometimes decorative techniques.
