Whitehead’s paintings make
an immediate impression both of delicacy and freedom as you go
in. Faint arched
forms, like a rainbow or horizon edge, or a simple gesture of the arm, cross a
cold white canvas. Their faint but sharp colors are beautifully judged and give
the whole room an airy feeling. Clearly she has gained by moving to this more
expansive style from earlier geometric devices. Also in the upstairs room is
Stephen Carter, whose white wall pieces depend on the effects of light across
small variations of surface. Downstairs are some interesting small
precisionist pictures by a Luxembourg born artist, Rita Wolff, which gain their
effect by the way she translates dreams (her own and those of friends) into a
kind of emotional architecture. Until Feb 7).
