Art Documents / www.laartdocuments.com ________________________________________________________ Text Source: https://www.intersectpalmsprings.com/... Sharrissa Iqbal, who specializes in American art with a focus on artistic abstraction in Southern California, will present a curated exhibition at Intersect Palm Springs Art + Design Fair, February 12 - 16, titled Radiant Space: Fields of Vision in Southern California, 1950-2025. Radiant Space is a featured exhibition of historical and contemporary works selected and presented by renowned curator Iqbal, spotlighting innovative works that merge technical precision with open-ended sensory experience. Intersect Palm Springs Art + Design Fair was inspired by Iqbal’s curation and Intersect Palm Springs artists and galleries - to create a new element of this year’s fair: The Intersection of Art, Light & Technology. Through curated exhibitions, installations, and discussions, including Radiant Space, the fair will address the evolving role of creativity in a rapidly changing world. This theme will also be explored in a seminar series of panels and presentations exploring new creative technologies and their cultural impact. “Successful art fairs must be a platform for discovery. The dynamic progression of technology and light in art provides a timely landscape for such exploration,” says Tim von Gal, CEO, Intersect Art + Design. “This is why we are so honored to have the expertise of Sharrissa Iqbal to lead these discussions through her carefully curated special exhibition and thought-provoking programming.” More about Radiant Space: Fields of Vision in Southern California, 1950-2025: Radiant Space examines how artists in Los Angeles have explored visual perception through inventive forms of geometric abstraction since the early 1950s. Artists concerned with both the physical and immaterial qualities of light and color transformed existing modes of painting and sculpture through newly available materials and technical processes. Radiant Space highlights Southern California as a significant site of artistic experimentation with abstraction, beginning with historic examples of hard-edge painting and spanning into 21st-century Light and Space practices. Through distinctly individual styles, this grouping of artworks reveals a range of shared interests, including interconnections between viewers’ experiences of light and color over time and within space. “Visual abstraction can function as a radical nexus of artistic expression and viewer experience,” says Sharrissa Iqbal. “This exhibition provides an opportunity for viewers to directly experience a wide variety of perceptual phenomena created through compelling works by pioneering abstract artists in Los Angeles.” The Exhibition features works by: Lita Albuquerque, Peter Alexander, Florence Arnold, Larry Bell, Gisela Colón, Tony Delap, Laddie John Dill, Oskar Fischinger, Lorser Feitelson, June Harwood, Channa Horwitz, Helen Lundeberg, John McLaughlin, Helen Pashgian, Joe Ray, James Turrell, DeWain Valentine, Vasa Velizar Mihich, June Wayne, Norman Zammitt, and Eric Zammitt. Further expanding the theme of Light, Technology and Art, the fair will also feature extraordinary works by internationally recognized contemporary masters in this medium including Mads Christensen (Timothy Yarger Fine Art) and Anthony James (Melissa Morgan Fine Art).
