From the Pace Gallery website: "Recent Work features approximately 40 paintings made over the past three years. The oil on linen on panel paintings and oil on paper paintings on view in this exhibition measure 22 x 28" and 22 x 30" respectively. An essay entitled â??The Secular Hereticâ? by poet and art critic John Yau will be published in the exhibition catalogue. The text provides historical background on Nozkowskiâ??s approach to painting, includes a discussion about the relationship between figure and ground in his work, and concludes with notes about the artistâ??s recent paintings. â??Nozkowski utilizes patterns, broken grids, and all the conventions we associate with traditional painting genres (landscape, portraiture, history paintings, Arcadian pastorals), cartoons (head-like shapes that exist between rounded lozenges and puzzle-like sections)â??all to arrive at a place where a multifaceted figure and complex ground embrace each other,â? writes Yau. Over thirty years ago, Thomas Nozkowski made a commitment to specific decisions regarding the scale and material of his work. Although he has followed this approach persistently, painting small-scale works on canvasboard or panel for several decades, John Yau contends that Nozkowski is not interested in making â??reiterations of past accomplishments. He is determined to remain open and inventive, to understand that each experience, however ordinary and meditated, is unique, and to transform that into an abstract painting.â? In an interview earlier this year, Nozkowski remarked about his painting process, â??I believe that what Iâ??m doing is actually very close to our normal way of looking at and thinking about the world. We slowly build up a whole web of associations and meanings.â?".
