This exhibition of new works and research by Brandon Woods seeks to define a new artistic discipline—Spatium—for artworks such as his which bridge painting and sculpture. A number of works included in the exhibition are created on dimensional panels projecting out from the wall at exciting and unexpected angles, activating the space around them. Woods’ approach to painting results in these works having surfaces that change in color and composition as the viewer moves around them, bringing the viewer’s awareness to their own perceptions of space.

Brandon Woods (b. 1987, Knoxville, TN) is an interdisciplinary artist who pursues highly innovative approaches to creating works of art through an engagement with science and mathematics. Woods earned his MFA in Painting from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2015.
