About this show
Caitlin Coreris’ Convergence paintings bring architecture and music together in a singular visual language. The process is intuitive and analytical. Working on luminous grounds of gold, blue, and yellow ochre, she draws with a rotating hand from a fixed point, generating arcs and planes that form the underlying structure of each painting. Taut lines traverse the surface like force diagrams, their tension held and released as much by color as by geometry. The luminous grounds absorb pressure, relieving weight from the line. Color makes the paintings resonate. It functions like music, where sound and silence, or density and openness, create rhythmic tension across the surface. Across the large-scale oil paintings, architecture, music, and perception converge.

Biography
Caitlin Coreris is an oil painter based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her paintings operate on the principle that architecture and music are not metaphors but structural forces. Raised inside a hand-built rhombic triacontahedron designed by her architect father and filled with the sound of her cellist mother, she builds paintings through accumulated layers of color, drawing structure from sensation. Trained at the Rhode Island School of Design, her work has been held in the collection of the SFMOMA Artists Gallery. Her influences run from the chromatic expansions of Matisse and Diebenkorn to the biomorphic inventions of Miró.
