No. 01 · Featured Work
Untitled No. 1
Acrylic on Canvas
The interior as emotional landscape. Chairs that hold no one yet feel inhabited, a window that opens onto warmth rather than escape. Blue structures drip against a field of red and orange, a composition that reads as memory of a place where someone finally felt at home. Color as statement, not decoration.
No. 02
Untitled No. 2
Acrylic on Canvas
Two monumental forms, one magenta, one deep burgundy, stand against an expanse of periwinkle. Below them, a shocking pink horizontal band and a field of forest green ground the composition with quiet authority. A work of formal daring.
No. 03
Untitled No. 3
Acrylic on Canvas
Two stacked rectangles, one framed in black, one in terracotta red, each containing a luminous blue field with a single copper stroke suspended at center. Meditative, precise. A study in contained light and the dignity of negative space.
No. 04
Untitled No. 4
Acrylic on Canvas
Two windows side by side. One open and luminous, one partially shuttered. The warm ochre and olive environment recalls interiors seen through memory rather than the eye. A work about adjacency: what we show and what we keep just out of frame.
No. 05
Untitled No. 5
Acrylic on Canvas
A figure rendered in pure cobalt, fragmented, weighted, weeping from a single eye placed at the sternum rather than the face. Text grounds the composition: raw, declarative, unapologetic. Among the most emotionally direct works in the exhibition.
No. 06
Untitled No. 6
Acrylic on Canvas
Four panels within a single composition, each a different state of color and resolution. A yellow-white square, an orange-striated field, an unresolved blue, a deep crimson. The work holds contradiction without resolving it, which is precisely its strength.
No. 07 · Large Scale
Untitled No. 7
Acrylic on Canvas
A coral and salmon field, dense, layered, textured like a wall that has absorbed decades of light. In the right half, a grid emerges from the paint like structure finding itself. This is Hightower's most abstract work in the collection, and his most architecturally ambitious. The grid is not imposed. It is revealed.
