About the Item
graphite, flashe, ink and gesso on paper, 22"x30" signed by the artist
The text in this painting reads: still pretty though, painted in stark capital letters faded into the background.
Alex Gingrow creates text-based paintings and drawings that are at turns witty, sardonic, poetic, self-deprecating and revealing. The delivery systems for the narratives are easily recognizable objects such as gallery provenance stickers or a daily desk calendar. Gingrow reappropriates these objects with her own writing and carefully render the text so that from a distance, the work appears to be that of a mechanical reproduction. On closer inspection, it is evident that the surface of the work is carefully and delicately modeled with repetitive mark-making: a symbolic meditative homage to the history of painting. Like the goal of all good literature, Alex Gingrow strives to make nuanced work that is, at its core, an examination of the oddities and intricacies of the human condition.

- Porch drawing 2 (Abstract Painting)By Peter SorianoLocated in London, GBPorch drawing 2 (Abstract Painting) Spray paint, pencil, ink, watercolor on paper. Unframed. Peter Soriano works on relatively large sheets of Japanese paper with a tendency to work from something observed, ideally around him. He tends to be “in” the configuration that is the subject of the work. Soriano is fond of “systems” objects attached to other objects, such as the wiring plan of a room. But very often there are other shapes that play a role in the work. The artist would fold and rework a piece a number of times. Folding seems to concentrate the dialogue that attracts him. Reworking is part of his nature. The finished work normally is the result of this ebb and flow between the heightening and repositioning the relationship between forms. This drawing highlights the configurations of a large porch that Soriano used as a studio in Maine during Summer 2010. Peter Soriano is a Philippines-born French-American abstract artist who divides his time between New York City and Penobscot, Maine. Although he began his career as a sculptor, his work is now two-dimensional. He is known for his bold spray-painted wall murals...Category
