BRIGHTLY COLORED SEPARATES, 2010
Working larger than I have in recent years, I’m engaged with the slightly off-kilter, the not-quite-right, the un-straight line, discordant color, and awkward alliances. The visual language derives loosely from ideas inspired by everyday objects and imagery, like ships-in-bottles, car dealer flags, construction materials, mind maps, fireworks, floor plans, the number eight, Lily Pulitzer dresses, geometric motifs from my father’s old paintings, vomit, cage-like crosshatched lines, and, of course, art history. The paintings are based on collages from my sketchbooks.
In May I presented a five minute video (posted here) at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum about the new work.
The paintings will be included in "On Display," an exhibition curated by Hrag Vartanian at STOREFRONT in Brooklyn, August 6-22, 2010. The exhibition has been selected as a Critics' Pick at Time Out New York, an ArtCat PICK, and has also been recommended by Gallerina @ WNYC. Paper Magazine selected "Brightly Colored Separates 8" as the Work of the Day. For a complete list of mentions and reviews about the exhibition, click here
