About the show:
“Thompson’s new paintings offer a meditation on the mutability of the passing moment. Each image sweeps visitors into unfloding dramas. Dynamic brush strokes evocative of crashing waves, swirling clouds, fleeting shadows, and rustling breezes testify to the presence of unseen powers. While the action in the pictures may appear to play out in the air and in the water, more contemplative intimations of force and change await the responsive viewer. Close inspection suggests that Thompson is laying bare the deliberative nature of painting. All lines, shapes, and colors embody decisions and to recognize them is to participate in their attendant doubt and desire. In essence, Thompson’s sensuous abstractions are an invitation to look inward and “weather whether.”
