Catalogue Note
“These paintings… are the payoff… No graphs; no systems; no modules. No shaped canvases. Above all, no thingness, no objectness. The thing is to get that color down on the thinnest conceivable surface, a surface sliced into the air as if by a razor. It’s all color and surface, that’s all.”
