These paintings feature drip-like tendrils of paint, blown by a leaf-blower and sprawled across the canvas at all angles. Areas of the surface are covered at random but, more or less, evenly, like static. The process-based stochasticism is all too predictable. This “one cool trick trick” to make a painting strategy always feels like a substitute for actual risk. Viscosity, trajectory, and color are well-calibrated but not pushed to any particular extreme. These have an enticing, crisp clarity, but they still feel safe. The outcome feels preordained rather than a result of the process.
