Attached is a selection of Li Trincere’s iconic black and white paintings from the late-1980s to mid-1990s that were shown initially in Europe at Rolf Ricke Galerie in Cologne, Germany from 1989-1990 and at the Cologne Art fair during 1992 to 1994. Several were also exhibited at the very important Julian Pretto Gallery in 1988, 1989 and 1990 on Thompson Street in New York City.
This series explores stark internal contrast using only black and white (or ivory in a few) geometric shapes bounded by non-symmetrical shaped canvases. The smooth surfaces with the reductive palette put the focus on form and the interaction between the internal and external geometries. The result is subtle illusory effects and perceptual challenges with respect to space and volume.
