Helm Contemporary is pleased to present Full Transparency, an exhibition of work by Christian Haub, opening April 4.

Working in nonrepresentational painting since the mid-1970s, Haub began incorporating colored cast acrylic sheets as supports in the late 1980s, eventually transitioning to relief works composed entirely of Plexiglas. These works begin with cast acrylic in liquid form, which, once cured, is cut, arranged, and bonded into layered, rectilinear compositions. The resulting pieces explore color, light, shadow, transparency, and opacity within the disciplined framework of gridded matrices.
