François Ghebaly New York is proud to present Fifteen Measures, Brooklin Soumahoro’s newest exhibition at the gallery’s Lower East Side location. Los Angeles-based painter Brooklin A. Soumahoro treats color theory as both careful science and intuitive process. He achieves extraordinary technical precision in his work, incorporating rigorous chromatic and geometric study while maintaining the sensitivity of painterly elements like visible brushwork and contrastive underlayers. His process involves translating sonic frequencies, musical rhythms, and other inspirations into compositions that fuse intricate patterning with vibrant, transportative color fields. Drawing from sources like landscape and observational study, material cultures, and wider 20th century art histories, Soumahoro transforms his research into luminous painted surfaces that integrate scores of carefully calibrated color relationships.
