Each painting is composed of two alternating painted discs affixed to a panel of a third color. The composition of these works references Pointillism, but as three-dimensional relief sculptures, the light and shadow cast from the discs upon the substrate create additional layers of visual complexity and optical confusion. The format, with each triptych presenting three permutations of colors, draws upon the minimalist language of Sol Lewitt, yet these works are, in Finch’s words, “weirdly impressionistic.”Exhibitions
