Teo Gonzalez: artist's minimal paintings are comprised of thousands of individual drops of paint on canvas. Arranged within a grid formation, the variation of drop size and density creates subtle shifts of rhythm and pattern within each painting. Joe Amrhein: Arch, a canopy of overlapping, hand-painted Mylar signs with colorful phrases taken from art criticism. Amrhein incorporates text and font icons appropriated from art related periodicals into an abstract, yet poetic visual language.
