Fabulous names: Dioxazine Violet
I preferred the plain black and white dribble paitings to the coloured ones.
Shellac on linen. It is actually the aged linen that has done most of the work. I suppose it will change more given long enough.
The ones on the top floor were the most striking for me. The Famous Identified Forms should be trite dribbles but are somehow much more: organic shapes, plants, space ships, people, light in the dark, stains, age, decay.
I thought standout was Untitled 2002. The markings really draw you in: moonscape, mountains, people, soot, desert or just marks. Why don't I dismiss these pieces as simply random marks? Why is he picked up and exhibited in prestiguous spaces as opposed to other abstract painters?
Interestingly, Formed Painting 2 is very colourful and simply looks like a textile design .
