From Miles Mcenery Gallery: "Erin Lawlor?s fluid, invigorated paintings span across four dimensions?space, volume, shape, and time. Applied wet on wet, waves of oil paintebb and flow, filling the canvas with undulating rhythm and inviting theviewer in for an immersive experience. Upon closer inspection, the viewer is able to notice the subtle sophistication of Lawlor?s nuanced use of color. The enfolding and unfolding ribbons of color and tone give a sense of intimacy, as if they are revealing and concealing an allusion to memory and knowledge.The artist?s intensely physical process is a fundamental and visible part of her work. As Zoë Miller notes, ?rather than capturing an instant, these paintings capture the holistic circumstances of their creation.? By placing her canvases horizontally on the studio floor and paintingfrom above, Lawlor is limited only by the length of her brush?s reach and the time it takes for the paint to dry. The result is a dynamic visual manifestation of the artist?s intuition and reflection.Every sweeping gesture is perceivable on the canvas; bands of thick, color flow from one to the other, creating an interconnected web of motion. These unified layers of painterly folds afford a sense of the depth, which complicates separation of line from line, plane from plane, even color from color. Lawlor explains, ?My lines are my forms are my colors.? More than arrangements of separate formal properties, the compositions are comprehensive, engaging, all-consuming.".

"His perspective isn?t an ordinary historical view of this celebrated serial gathering of hippies, activists, and their spiritual kin. In Huffman?s paintings, kente cloth visually rhymes with hard- edge abstraction, the head of a sphinx merges with the face of his mom, and basketballs float alongside the moons of Jupiter and Pluto. One might easily mistake Huffman?s juxtaposition of seemingly antithetical modes of abstraction?hard-edge and expressionistic?as some kind of postmodernist ploy. It is not. Their presence in these paintings is not a clever or ironic art historical pose but, rather, an authentic and genuine reflection on his early life experience."- Lawrence Rinder in "David Huffman: The Awakening".

From the Miles Mcenery Gallery site: "Heather Gwen Martin?s paintings walk the line between deliberation and spontaneity. Dissolving any sense of objectivity, the artist avoids preconceptions, allowing her compositions to materialize with immediacy, experimentation, and improvisation.Martin?s paintings begin as intense, physical endeavors, which she later hones with touch, strength, and control. Each canvas is proportional to the artist?s body: the smallest relating to her head and the largest to her full body and arm span. Elegant lines, precise brushwork, and a vibrant colour palette are signature elements of her work, which she makes entirely by hand, employing the traditional materials of oil paint and linen. Martin begins each painting by methodically mixing paint, creating a unique palette with a keen sensitivity to balance. She primes the linen with an oil ground, allowing the natural weave and texture to reveal itself. With broad brushstrokes she then paints a eld of color, allowing her mind and hand to nd their rhythm. Out of this field, forms and lines emerge?some preplanned others intuitively developed. Martin revisits each form and line with multiple layers of paint, which lead to slight shifts in color and shape at each pass. While forms seem flat and hard-edged when viewed from afar, the warmth and nuance of human hand is revealed at closer look?an effect that Martin celebrates.Viveros-Faun? remarks, ?Martin has mobilized one of the planet?s most ancient analog technologies?painting?to hijack and enhance the look of our digital world. As a result, her canvases speak the lingua franca of computer-aided visuals but encourage mindfulness.?

Kalenderian?s works vary greatly in their handling of scale. The figures displayed occupy as much as half the overall pictorial plane, or may appear as quite small, tucked lovingly into a lush visual landscape. His surfaces are completely activated. Additionally, the paintings display time, as well as space. Temporal complexity is intrinsic to portrait painting. It unfolds across an extended duration and yet is perceived by the viewer in, and as, an instant. Looking at them is like experiencing déjà vu.Glenn Adamson notes, ?In art as in physics, energy must come from somewhere. It?s easy to get lost in his paintings, their saturated hues, their mesmerizing patterns, their psychological presence. That?s the right way to look at them ? to give yourself the chance to see what Kalenderian saw, and somehow got down on canvas.?"=Miles McEnery Gallery.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. From the Miles McEnery site: Los Angeles based artist David Allan Peters? brilliantly kaleidoscopic works push the boundaries of acrylic paint as well as traditional practices of painting. Using a linocut knife, Peters dives into his works, cutting, sculpting, and carving through finely layered paint to reveal intricate, pulsating color patterns.Once his panels are adequately layered, Peters maps out a grid before beginning the highly physical process of cutting into his works. ?Once I start cutting, that?s when the color and pattern starts happening,? Peters says. ?I can go deeper, higher, lower. That?s the payoff, nding the right mixture to make the painting harmonious.?From a distance, Peters? vibrantly variegated works appear attened but a closer look reveals their carefully crafted, undulating texture and a multitude of varying perspectives. As Phoebe Hoban writes, ?Peters meticulously carves away the surface of his vividly colored, tactile paintings to reveal their underlying layers. Ghosts of earlier images don?t gradually emerge: The artist literally cuts open his work so that you can see it, and then see it again. A masterful synthesis of process and product, art and artifact, each piece, like a topographical map, is a textured strati cation that artfully tracks its own history.?

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Pictorial boards have minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Flawlessly executed, Warren Isensee?s paintings present the viewer with a seductive and alluring assortment of shapes and colors. The various patterns and forms fade in and out, while simmering with the artist?s archetypal sense of humor and irony. Titles such as ?Pillow Talk,? ?Rise and Shine,? and ?LOL? playfully riff on phrases inherent to contemporary culture, highlighting Isensee?s negotiation of the line between reality, artifice and representation.Patterns begin to delightfully pulsate and radiate through the work, in oscillations that are at once hypnotic and soothing. As Ken Johnson notes in his catalogue text Wiggly World: A Conversation with Myself About Warren Isensee?s New Paintings, ?with their emphatically flat, frontal, and symmetrical compositions, the repetition and recursion of blobby forms outlined in black and in a tasty range of hues, from chocolaty browns and mossy greens to neon-bright pinks and yellows, all painted, with a precise, silky touch, they are optically dazzling.?The paintings on display trace their origins to the artist?s series of delicate, miniature pencil drawings, rendered with a concise and single layer of color application. Observed in an historic moment of vast upheaval, unprecedented in living memory, Isensee?s complete body of work celebrates vibrancy, dynamism and spontaneous movement and ultimately imbues the viewer with a sense of optimism.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Pictorial boards have minor wear, binding tight, internally clean. Roy Dowell possesses the unique ability to incorporate fragments of diverse textures and shapes to utilize various dialects of abstraction. Using a configuration of seemingly simple elements, Dowell combines patterns and identifiable images, producing assorted linear kaleidoscopes and electrifying motifs. Geometric silhouettes create elaborate asymmetrical designs, while Dowell?s precision and compositional intention remains visible. Zigzags, pinwheels, and dots, overlap across the textured canvas, creating organic diagrams intended to be decoded.Dowell?s use of everyday imagery urges viewers to form an identifiable connection to the painting, all while bringing their own context to the artist?s untitled works. This quality gives Dowell?s works a distinct sense of intimacy. Amy Gerstler remarks, ?As meditation aids, I believe these paintings are meant to throw us back into long-ago associations, impressions, exuberances, and depths from which we first formed our relationship with shapes, colors, thought forms, and letter forms.?

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Pictorial boards have minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Over the course of the last three decades, Rico Gatson has developed a language that includes painting, sculpture, collage, and video and that has been chiefly concerned with the icons and symbols of history, race and power. He developed his interest in color and geometric symbols while studying Graphic Design and Fine Art as an undergraduate in the 1980s. While he began experimenting with the formal simplicity of Minimalism and Constructivism, his most recent works are rooted in abstract mysticism.Gatson employs a limited and specific repertoire of lines, colors, and geometric representations. His language of color and shape is drawn from an African-American sensibility to create optical, repeated patterns. ?There?s a fast and slow thing that occurs within the work,? notes the artist. ?The pattern and color are spatially active to the point that I hope the loudness produces a focus that slows the viewer down.?Gatson?s exploration of the transformative possibility of color and shape is evident in his ongoing series of works on paper, Icons (2007?). The series pays homage to what he calls ?Black Cultural Beacons? and goes beyond their political and cultural meaning. In this body of work, Gatson extracts monochrome images of civil rights leaders, musicians, actors, and writers from found photographs and recreates them juxtaposed against mesmerizing rays of color, as if they were suns at the center of their own universes.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Miles McEnery Gallery presents "Babel", an exhibition of twelve new paintings by Los Angeles-based artist, Rosson Crow. Beautifully presented in blue cloth 9.5 x 10.75ins. with blindstamped artist's name. Near Fine condition in a luxurious perfect dustjacket. "The exhibition marks Crow's inaugural solo exhibition with the gallery, was on view 16 May through 3 July 2024 at 511 West 22nd Street NYC. "Babel" was accompanied by this fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by Julia Halperin. The exhibition centered on three arc-shaped canvases depicting the construction, peak, and destruction of the biblical Tower of Babel. Pulled into the contemporary landscape, Crow's inspiration stemmed from Jonathan Haidt's 2022 essay in "The Atlantic": "Why the Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid". Using the story of Babel as an allegory for the recent fragmentation of collective discourse, the paintings bring the viewer through this dissolution. Going from utopian idealism to the point of breaking and its aftermath, Crow confronts us all to address the parallels between her canvases and our fragmented reality of contention and polarization.".

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. 36 pages, illustrated in color. Ross has been exhibiting his paintings and drawings throughout the United States and Europe for over twenty-five years. He predominantly uses various hues of green to reference both plant life and the artificial, often seen in contrast to blues and reds. The works are a bridge between abstract and photorealistic; his compelling application of shadow and texture interact with color and form to create images with a deep dimensionality.Epps explains, ?By constantly rupturing and dissolving our conventional interpretation of shapes and colors, Ross perceives his painterly practice as a form of depictive abstraction. Captivated by both figurative and abstracted approaches to the medium, he has cited Giorgio Morandi and Max Ernst as two of his favorite painters. He sportively encourages us to undergo an experience of spectatorial confusion; the closer and longer you might focus on an image, the less you might understand it. Like the rotations of a kaleidoscope, the patterns continually mutate, seducing us with their boundless perplexity.?
