CASPER BRINDLE
New Artworks at MMFA

A contemporary disciple of the 1960s & 70s Light and Space generation, Casper Brindle is intrigued by the sensory experiences triggered by color and light. Brindle’s newest series, the Glyphs, continues his investigation into the expressive possibilities of color and form while utilizing new materials and modes of production. These enigmatic pieces tend more toward sculptural objects than painting, each a single sheet of shimmering metallic color encased in a transparent shell, punctuated only by a radiant central form. These central forms seem to be emerging from the void, single origin points that simultaneously appear to be moving through space and frozen in time. A glowing push and pull ensue as the viewer circles the piece, the object before them shifting before their eyes.

Brindle’s work has been exhibited across the United States and internationally. His work is held in a number of prominent private and museum collections including the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation and the Morningside College Collection in Sioux City, IA.

The Modernists
Opening Reception
February 21, 2023 | 4-7pm

Melissa Morgan Fine Art proud to present The Modernists, a group exhibition celebrating the diversity and creativity of iconic artists of the Post-War Modernism movement, through a selection of paintings and sculptures drawn from the Gallery’s collections.

Although many different styles are encompassed by the term, Modernism, there are underlying principles that define modernist art and tie all the artists in this exhibition together: A rejection of history and conservative values; innovation and experimentation with form with a tendency to abstraction; and an emphasis on materials, techniques and processes. Each artist in this special exhibition, in collaboration with Palm Springs Modernism Week, has played an important role in the modernist movement through their use of new imagery, materials and techniques to create artworks that reflect the realities and hopes of modern societies.
