Five new paintings, a set of drawings and three chairs that are part of a new furniture design project
The show will include five new paintings from his ongoing series "Execution Changes," a set of drawings and three chairs that are part of a new furniture design project. "My framer told me that some other artists he works with said I wasn't a painter, but that I was making sculptures of paintings. I'm fine with that idea. I've also been able to use the frames as a way to connect the paintings a bit to the furniture projects I have been working on lately. If the paintings can feel like objects a bit and have a motif that connects them to the furniture, then you can feel your own presentness in space between them. I came to abstraction through a love of the way the work of artists like Bridget Riley and Fred Sandback made me feel acutely aware of my own body in space.The surfaces of the paintings, their quality of taking up space, the frames, the way the show is hung, and the furniture are all ways of connecting your whole body to the experience of looking." (Excerpts from an interview with the artist) Image: In Line With Effort, 2008, Sumi ink, acrylic varnish, colored pencil, collage and cutting on paper 174 x 129 cm framed.
