Dolby Chadwick Gallery is pleased to announce its first exhibition of paintings by the Seattle-based artist Jaq Chartier. A Fever in Matter features colorful abstract works made in Chartier’s signature Testing style and inspired by Lewis Wolberg’s book, Micro-Art: Art Images in a Hidden World. In one of the book’s essays Brian O’Doherty writes: … the understanding of crystal structure in terms of mathematics (that is, logic) confirmed a schism in matter - between the organic and the inorganic. Life could be seen as an inexplicable vitalism on the one hand, and on the other a delusion within the inorganic, or, as it has been called, a fever in matter.
