Color is for me the purest form of expression, the purest abstract reality.

This is a review of the exhibition 'Signal to Noise' by american abstract artist Terry Winters in IMMA. The exhibition displays a collection from the past ten years of painting and drawing.


In my opinion it was an utterly mesmerising collection of pieces, mostly because of the vast amount of paintings that were displayed. On the Imma website it states that this collection "explores the cerebral spaces of information technology and issues of cognition and narration as they relate to abstract painting"


As many abstract paintings go, i have never seen such a different aspect on this genre. The feeling i got from the collection was one of forcefullness and perfectionism. Even though these paintings and drawings are considered abstract there is a certain formality to each piece because of the amount of details that are added and how each one is similar in some way or another. In my opinion i think that this a brilliant collection that oozes feeling and emotion.
