McKenzie Fine Art presents work by Don Voisine, best known for his hard-edged oil abstractions on wood panels. The compositions are muscular and elegant with rich surfaces, nuanced black tones varying from piece to piece. Working within a characteristically narrow structure of compositional elements, Voisine is able to squeeze an unbelievable amount of mileage out of such a restricted formal vocabulary. Voisine explores the relationship of surface and tableau through overlapping geometric the fields of black, situating high-gloss blacks which reflect local color with more dull luster passages alluding to deeper space. The work is quite remarkable and only able to be fully grasped in person, so swing by Mackenzie Fine Art and take a peek for yourself.
