Richard Zinon: Act I: Penombra

"Act I: Penombra" reflects a space where form is not yet fully declared, where colour exists in depth rather than on the surface, as if seen at night. These paintings move between restraint and release: some hold the tension of a mark before it happens, a suspended gesture within darkness, while others carry the mark itself, muted and absorbed back into the whole.

Grounded in a reduced palette, colour is softened, submerged, and slowly revealed, creating resonance rather than immediacy. As in nature, light carries its shadow, and presence is felt through what remains unseen. This first act unfolds with monumental scale, Richard's works will reshape our gallery as a meditation on potential, on the threshold between emergence and articulation.
