Berkshires Arts Festival

Color Field Sculpture by Shelley Parriott exhibited at the Berkshires Arts Festival in Great Barrington Massachusets…a wonderful event in spite of the heat wave. 

Preparing the sculpture :

  

Butternut Ski Slope is visible in the background

 

 A great performance by Daisy Jopling.

Another view in varying light.  Music tent is seen through transparencies. 

Changing colors and patterns created by overlapping transparencies:

Young photographer notices the optical illusions created within the sculpture.

Other viewers match the colors.  Woman enters into the fields of color.

   

Color Field Sculpture in the Garden

Color Field Sculpture in the Garden

Westchester, New York

It's been several years since this Color Field Sculpture

was installed in a private garden in Westchester, New York.

When we saw it the other day it was a lovely sight,

and a lovely site … among the roses.

New Sculpture Installation

On a beautiful spring day we installed a new

Color Field Sculpture

Overlapping Transparencies /  Warm Hues

Collection of Laura Blank & Mitchell Schlansky, NYC and Massachusetts

"Color Field Sculpture / Warm Hues" by Shelley Parriott

Large-scale, site-specific 'Color Field Sculpture'

    

Created by Shelley Parriott for Linden Park - private collection
Indianapolis, Indiana.

Eighteen feet high and twenty-five feet wide, the transparent installation shown below is designed to rise above tall seasonal prairie grass and drifts of wind blown snow that will eventually surround the sculpture.

Monumental in scale and visual impact, yet illusory, sheer columns create an airy appearance not usually associated with outdoor sculpture. Imbued with light, overlapping patterns play in the changing atmosphere.

Thanks to Jason Myers, installation director and photographer in Indianapolis.

Shelley Parriott - Harlem Art Walking Tour NYC 2012

Shelley Parriott is delighted to have been invited by Ultima Gallery to exhibit Color Field Sculpture as part of the Harlem Art Walking Tour 2012.

Diane Eamtrakul, director, had Color Field Sculpture with Yellows installed outside the gallery for this special event in the Mount Morris Historical District, Harlem, NYC.
 

Indoors, she placed Parriott's "tangible/intangible" transparent Color Field Sculpture/ Warm Hues, beside her own extensive collection of antique Southeast Asian Buddha statues.

Sheer and mysterious Color Field with Blues was tranquil in subtle light.

One wall in the gallery displayed large original drawings by Project Runway designers including Christian Siriano, Austin Scarlett and Carolina Herrera.

Milton Avery's artist's proof was Blue Nude. Works by Ashit Kumar Mitra, Juan Calderon, Arkom Daungchawna and Richard Davis were shown, as well as others.

The rain in NYC didn't dampen the spirits of attendees.
