Excerpted label text from the Curatorial Fellowship exhibition "Color in Containment," March 22 – April 29, 2018:
Pop art as a movement took advantage of the bright colors that were becoming part of the American commercial vernacular. While artists frequently appropriated the palette of existing advertising images, they also played with the electric, chemical colors that were becoming available to artists with exciting results. The color escapes from the boundaries of representation to more directly affect the viewer. Weller’s painting uses color to create a vibrant atmosphere that unbalances the viewer, distorting their own vision as they move through the space. - Margaret Wilson (M.F.A. Studio Art 2019) and Alison Ritacco (M.A. Art History 2019)
