  • Beyond Collective Cultures is Ania Gola‑Kumor: Mixed Media Big and Small. Gola‑Kumor is also a respected art teacher, right here at RMCAD. I often think of Gola‑Kumor as one of the region's best and most overlooked abstract painters, and this show is made up of a gorgeous group of her paintings. Gola‑Kumor puts on layer after layer of pigment, with the lower layers, which consist of bright colors, peeking through to the surface in places. The top layers are monochromatic, with dry and neutral tones such as cream and brown predominating. Another feature of Gola‑Kumor's work is the use of clearly defined shapes that are expressive though still geometric, as in "Untitled" (seen above). There are a lot of marvelous paintings here, including the remarkable "Untitled #16," in which fifty very small works on paper are hung together as a single work, making it big and small at the same time.
