Description |
Exhibition curated by Guest Curator: Dave Hickey.
In post-war American abstraction, wet became the new deep. Paintings, of course, are neither wet nor deep. The idea of wetness became a primary metaphor for a whole manner of painting in which the fluidity of the surface provides the narrativity once provided by pictorial depth. Since most wet painting in recent years has been in the figurative idiom, Guest Curator Dave Hickey thought it would be interesting to revisit this tradition of abstraction in some of its current manifestations and to do so in Southern California where the language of liquidity has its own iconography. |
