Helm Contemporary is pleased to present "The Measure of Things," an exhibition by Lindsay Walt — her first with the gallery.

Walt's paintings inhabit the territory where the industrial landscape merges with atmosphere. Working intuitively, she builds surfaces through the accretion, scraping, and adjustment of viscous oil paint, arriving at compositions where structure and touch become inseparable. Layers of luminous color interact with taut linear elements to form spaces that feel simultaneously constructed and unstable — perspective skewed, weight shifted, compression and expansion generating an illusion of space that is as psychological as it is physical.
