Lukas\u2019 circular thread paintings, <i>Fuse <\/i>and <i>In Wave <\/i>(each 60 inches in diameter) combine an actively painted reflector behind an accumulation of thread.<\/p>\n<p>The artist\u2019s new series of lattice paintings, including <i>Glass in Moving Water, <\/i>explores what happens when we process two complementary paintings at the same time. The artist creates an underpainting on the canvas, then layers a second composition on a raised pattern of dots. The combined acrylic-on-canvas works engage the viewers\u2019 position and distance in the surrounding architecture of the gallery.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1964, Emil Lukas has exhibited throughout the United States and abroad.
