(Drivebycuriosity) - On my recent visit of Chelsea`s art galleries I found a little gallery with amazing paintings. Loretta Howard Gallery, which shares the building with other galleries (521 West 26 Street; New York lorettahoward), had a fascinating show: David Row: Counter Clockwise.
The press release explains: "Row continues to investigate the dynamic of the irregularly shaped panel with architectural precision, heavily worked surfaces of oil paint and complex internal structures. The predominant energy and motion is countered by an underlining geometric logic. The dynamic ellipse or x shapes are completed by the viewer’s eye outside of the picture plane thus pushing boundaries by activating the surrounding space. These paintings are primarily frontal but can also be read as spatial and as such once again activate perception. Row’s color and paint are luxurious– rich deep blues and dense blacks are contrasted by thin lines of vivid bright lines demarcating junctures."
