RAM Gallery

On display is Gretchen Wagner’s Color Interaction VI. This is the latest iteration in an ongoing investigation of how color responds when asked to occupy three dimensional space. Each work is printed with a cyan, magenta, or yellow gradient. Rather than mixing to produce a stable hue, the inks remain transparent. As they overlap with the colored paper stock beneath, they generate the illusion of additional colors and values that are not materially present. What appears to be a new color is an optical event, produced through accumulation and perception. The works are pleated and trimmed to create a directional shift in color. This subtle movement is interrupted with each pleat, punctuating an otherwise continuous gradient into distinct color swatches.
Anchored by a glass bead, each fold becomes structural as well as optical. The surface alternates between peaks and valleys, absorbing and reflecting light. In these moments, each pleat functions as small lightwell, where color compresses and briefly destabilizes. “Color Interaction VI” continues to explore color as an evolving phenomenon rather than a static material, asking how color changes when given depth.

Sunday, April 19th 11am - 1pm Sunday Sessions For Kids

Drop in anytime between 11am and 1pm for a family friendly art session where young creators dive into the vibrant world of Gretchen Wagner’s Color Interaction VI exhibition. Using bright construction paper and glue, kids will experiment with bold color combinations to build their own 3D-inspired works of art. Explore how colors talk to each other, just like in Gretchen’s dynamic geometric works. Parents/guardians must stay and are encouraged to join the fun or chat art with us. No experience needed—just curiosity!
