A Seat at the Table
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. This is Hightower at his most resolved: 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.
