| The paintings of James Howell abound in paradox. His present work, limited strictly to closely controlled gradients of the color gray, is nonetheless lively and luminous. Created by a process of mathematical precision and executed meticulously within carefully defined limits, the work fosters a sense of expansiveness. |
