In her essay 'Series Ten Continued' Lilly Wei Notes: "James Howell has been working on his Series Ten paintings since 1996. It is an ongoing project and at the time of this writing, consists of 428 works of varying dimensions but always square in format, always grey in color. Within the series, the works are organized in groups numbered according to the percentage of white pigment in the mix. Howell uses only three colors: titanium white, ivory black and raw umber, the latter to prevent the white and black from bluing. His format consists of narrow bands of the same width within each work arranged in graduated order, the number of bands determined by how he wants the gradation’s mass to be perceived. Each work is documented by number, date and measurements. Series 10 is an investigation of the physical properties of one grey with its infinite range of color and light"
The London exhibition coincides with the presentation of James Howell's drawings as part of the current 'Works on Paper from the Natalie and Irving Forman Collection' exhibition at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY.
