(Drivebycuriosity) - I enjoy visiting the art galleries in my neighborhood, New York`s Lower East Side (LES). There is always something to discover.
I really like the monochrome paintings which remind me a bit of works by Gerhard Richter and the Spanish artist Antoni Tàpies, who`s paintings I recently discovered in Barcelona (driveby). Obando uses red, blue, green, ocher and even black in a fascinating way. Even that most of the paintings have just one color, they got an own life thanks to the filigree structure, which you can see in the detail shots here.
It seems that the paiting belog together, they are a family. I think the paintings "work" best, if you hang a set of 3 on one large wall. According to the gallery`s website, Obando "uses various stencils and layering techniques to create ben-day dot patterns over flat surfaces while allowing some accidents to occur" ()thierrygoldberg.
On the top of this post you can see "Jholawallah (2015, acrylic on canvas) and segments of it. Then follow from left "Continuous Tone 003" & "Continuous Tone 002" (both 2015, acrylic on canvas).
The pictures are caught with my humble camera: Panasonic Lumix. You might get better images if you to the gallery`s website. But, let the pictures speak for themselves.
Enjoy.
