From Webster University and Cecil R. Hunt Gallery:

"The Surface - The Space" is an exhibition of paintings and wall drawings by Kansas City-based artist Laura Nugent. Nugent’s works investigate the continued restating of abstract painting. Aleksandr Rodchenko declared of his red monochrome in 1921 that he had accomplished the “last painting,” yet 100 years later there remains meaningful, significant dialogue in much contemporary art practice with myriad expressions of pure color and form. With the “tradition” of the repeated statements of the death and rebirth of abstract art, Nugent literally repurposes, reincarnates older works to create new forms and unique, unexpected juxtapositions. For the Hunt Gallery exhibition, the artist will create large-scale abstract wall paintings.
