'Ambiguities of abstraction'

“Untitled Drawing” ( charcoal and graphite on paper), by Brian Littlefield, in his show “Smaller,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, Nov. 3-28.“Untitled Drawing” ( charcoal and graphite on paper), by Brian Littlefield, in his show “Smaller,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, Nov. 3-28.The gallery says:“Brian Littlefield devotes his practice to multifaceted ambiguities of abstraction. In his first solo exhibition at Kingston Gallery, ‘Smaller’ seeks to foster a direct approach to drawing, using straightforward materials such as charcoal and graphite. His grayscale works suggest patchwork landscapes, which are born more from nature than from mathematical abstraction. Littlefield’s improvisational work can shift between form and space by compressing internal and external locations, recurring interests, and ruminating thoughts.’’
