Francisco Masó

Luis De Jesus just presented Francisco Masó: Documentary Abstraction, the Cuban conceptual artist’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. The exhibition brings together new works from Masó’s ongoing series Aesthetic Register of Covert Forces. The series establishes a catalog and archive of acrylic on canvas paintings which serves as an abstract geometric guide for identifying the forces of power within a state control apparatus while simultaneously generating discourse on the militarization of Cuban civil society.

Jeanette Fintz

Jeanette Fintz’s paintings emerge from the collision and dissection of overlapping grid systems, using a choreographic process to intuitively edit and transform geometric fragments into expressive, unstable constructs. Informed by plein air landscape painting and Islamic geometric pattern, the work evokes nature, memory, and time through the tactile interplay of gesture and structure. She is showing at 68 Prince Street Gallery.

Bettina Blohm

Adam Simon at Two Coats recently gave us a two-fer on Bettina and Don, saying they share a vocabulary of basic geometric forms, directional brushwork, and an emphasis on color relationships. Both shows present the rectangle as a primary condition of most painting as well.

Steve Locke

Because of my interest in Albers, a friend who recently saw a few of Steve’s pieces from Homage to the Auction Block (2019-ongoing) series shared them with me. The work posits that the basic Modernist form is indeed the slave auction block. With the discovery of that form, all the other forms became possible.

Gary Stephan

Jonathan Stevenson at Two Coats says Gary is far from content (and has been an abstract painter for over fifty years so his command of that vocation is duly acknowledged).

Robert Landry
