Joanne Greenbaum , Untitled (Hollywood Squares #4), at D'amelio Terrasi've been m.i.a. for a while, but i've seen a lot of amazing work around the city. below are various gallery and museum shows. above is Joanne Greenbaum; ooh so good. she uses transparencies of color to build up or cover up her paintings. her strong and fierce movement and giant swaths of color are what i dig most.
Mark Bradford, Taking Up the Cross at Sikkema Jenkins & Co.liked the reduction of these works. there are lines of rope or thread underneath all that whiteness. only a few snippets of color and graphic forms are allowed to peep out.

this opening was fun! the gallery was like an explosion of his mind. lots of different conversations going on. ideas literally all over the place. some precious others totally stepped on and ignored.

Shinique Smith, And the World Don't Stop, at Yvon Lambert
the mash up flat spaces of color, free form "script" and cut ups are a perfect harmony. all of it just bounces on the seen and says "BAM!"

Paul Signac, Opus 217. Against the Enamel of a Background Rhythmic with Beats and Angles, Tones, and Tints, Portrait of M. Félix Fénéon in 1890, at MoMAseriously, i'm not sure whether i like the title or the painting more. sense of humor - i love that in art. dali was good one w/the humor. you have to see that lily his holding to understand the insanity of this painting. so precise, gaudy and mesmerizing.
Chris Ofili, Afro Margin Six at David Zwirner
love that the forms are so simple and are built up to create a complex and striking design
