like Peter was represented in Light, Space and Surface at LACMA.
Craig Kauffman is the only one of his Light and Space peers who, in a substantial way, came to his artistic vocabulary through a historical knowledge of modernism, in particular Marcel Duchamp’s Large Glass (1915-23) and Lászió Moholy-Nagy’s Plexiglas works of the 1940s. In his Loops series, including Untitled (below), Kauffman molded Plexiglas sheets to incorporate a fold and then sprayed them with acrylic paint, creating a hazy atmospheric field that hovers just off the wall. The shadow Untitled casts on the wall takes on the yellow hue of the sprayed paint, as if color could be both distilled from and independent of actual paint.
