In DISTILLATION OF SPACE, Rhonda Gates’ paintings build on the legacy of landscape painting and humans’ psychological distancing from the natural world. She utilizes architectural-based grids and geometric shapes to organize and present her subject matter – the poetry of air and light, flora and fauna – suggestive how people choose to be spectators, viewing nature at an arm’s length through windows and devices, instead of seeing themselves as integral participants in nature.
