PS122 Gallery is pleased to present Touch Frequencies, an exhibition featuring two Asian- American abstract painters who use a visual vocabulary infused with patterning, repetition, and ornamentation. Their penchant for working this way aligns them more with Eastern and Middle Eastern art in contrast to the Greek and Roman-based Western art tradition that emphasizes the primacy of the figure in painting. Pattern, repetition, and ornamentation are endemic in nature — it is in fact, how nature is structured — and are primal in their rhythmic connection to the human nervous system.
