Pixel Fields

Richard Taittinger Gallery is pleased to present Pixel Fields, a solo exhibition of unseen works by Greek-American artist Nassos Daphnis (1914–2010). The exhibition features twenty-one paintings from 1987–1992, which reveal Daphnis as a precursor to today’s New Media artists. Expanding on his signature abstract geometric style, works from this period demonstrate the expansion of his color-plane theory beyond the use of primary colors and simplified planes.
