‘An inner logic’

“Blue Note’’ (work on paper), by Mary Bablitch, in her show “Spirited Geometries,’’ at Bromfield Gallery, Boston, May 1-June 1.

The gallery says that the Lexington, Mass.-based artist’s “painted paper works inhabit the charged space between painting and collage, construction and composition.” She says: "My work always emerges from color, I paint flat hues onto large sheets of paper, pairing shapes and forms according to an inner logic.’’

The gallery notes that “Sheets are cut and assembled into layered constellations of form that assert a physical presence while remaining resolutely two-dimensional. Warm earth tones, sienna, ochre, deep burgundy — collide with cool slates and unexpected passages of acid green, creating chromatic tensions that animate the overlapping planes.’’
