This body of work demonstrates Reynold’s interest in portraying the passage of time in a way that literally pushes the visual boundaries of previous painters concerning the same topic. Though confined to the picture plane, Reynolds manages to visually “push out” the edges of the scene by permitting the surface to show through. In doing [...]

Matthew Palladino At Eli Ridgway

Stephen Giannetti At Marx & Zavattero
Bay Area painter Stephen Giannetti debuts a fresh take on his abstract color field work with a new series of acrylic on linen paintings.

The translucency [...]
