Penelope Krebs: Seasons of Color

Penelope Krebs: Seasons of Color constitutes a significant critical reassessment of this California-based abstractionist. Her decades-long engagement with chromatic relationships positions her work at the intersection of Color Field painting’s expansive legacies and the phenomenological concerns of West Coast Minimalism. The exhibition showcases sixteen large-scale paintings from 2016–2017—each canvas measuring five feet square and titled after months and seasons—complemented by an installation of seventy-two works on paper that reveal Krebs’s systematic yet intuitive approach to color relationships. By situating her practice within the broader historical narrative of abstract painting, this exhibition affirms Krebs as an artist who has expanded our understanding of color's experiential possibilities while carving out her singular artistic identity.
