On Center Gallery Presents Chromatic: A Vivid New Solo Exhibition by Jarrad Heaslip
On Center Gallery is thrilled to announce Chromatic, a bold new exhibition by New Zealand-born artist Jarrad Heaslip — marking his 6th consecutive solo show with the gallery. That kind of continued partnership speaks for itself.
Heaslip’s work sits at the intersection of architecture and pure sensation. Drawing from the crisp lines and structural logic of modern and post-modern architecture, he distills complex form into something elemental: geometry, symmetry, and color at their most precise. “Lines,” he says, “offer a quality of precision that other shapes lack.”
Chromatic is exactly what the title promises. Heaslip’s signature multicolored, large-scale works ignite the walls, each one a study in how color can feel — not just be seen. His invitation to viewers is disarmingly simple: “enjoy the art experience through feeling rather than concept.” No art history degree required. Just eyes, and a willingness to be stopped in your tracks.
Central to the work is Heaslip’s masterful resin application — a technique he has spent years perfecting — which he describes as making colors “pop” and drawing out “the most vibrant quality” from each hue. Up close, the surfaces are immaculate. At a distance, they hit like a pulse of light.
The public is invited to meet Jarrad Heaslip at the opening reception on Friday July 3rd from 6:30 -9:00 pm at On Center Gallery, 352 Commercial St, Provincetown
