In this series Fragments G&C, compositions are based on geometry and change, in color, value, temperature, or intensity. These changes can be seen as the eye moves from top to bottom, bottom to top, or from side to side. Through this process I can explore simultaneously the mysterious spaces between inside and outside, colorfield and image, figuration and abstraction, […]

It is difficult to determine if a “fix statement” operates between this series of experiments with the image. What seems to connect them is the insistent pursuit of change; the radical transformation of their initial forms, its essence, what makes them be what they are. Part of this process and praxis of the artist, is […]

In communion with nature, I paint Fuschias and Dead leaves, I go from the Sahara to the Depths of the ocean. Yet, nothing in my work takes me away from semi-precious stones: colors, veins and light evoke the original source of my painting. “Mystery or mysticism … my work seems abstract,” only at first sight.

In examining her work, one may find a very different direction. Kim’s works possess a vibrant delivery of the brush that engages bold […]

My art is clearly contemplative in nature. I paint on canvas, timber boards, and cork sheets. I make sculpted objects using string, or make spatial and illusive painting objects. The array of colors is quite limited to various shades of white, grey, black, or brown. As an artist, I oscillate on the border between a […]
Ellsworth Kelly at Ninety with Matthew Marks Gallery
It’s pretty rare to have the opportunity to see the work of a living legend. There are very few artists who ever achieve this status, standing head and shoulders above the rest of us. If the measure of influence is equated to height, Ellworth Kelly is way up there. Turning 90 this year, this art […]
Art Fair Review: Pulse Does It With Class.
Ah, art fair season. What’s not to love, right? Sometimes art fairs take your money, pour an unbelievable amount of closely-hung work into your brain via your wandering eyeballs, and kick you in the ass as you exit.
