A pioneering minimalist whose career has spanned six decades, Virginia Jaramillo (American, b. El Paso, Texas, 1939) creates work from sources that span history and cross cultures. The exhibition brings together never before seen paintings and drawings completed in her Hampton Bays studio over the past two years. Harmony between Line and Space features two 12-foot canvases, Quantum Entanglement and Quanta, in which expansive fields of color are crisscrossed by impossibly uniform razor-thin lines. “The color field was not negative space,” notes Jaramillo, “but a space filled with life and possibilities.”
