Linda Geary - All the Pink Together: Boom

Linda Geary scales up her paintings to heroic size and publishes Artist Book

Riffing off a jumbly stack of painted building blocks in her studio that she made and remade into a thousand different piles, Geary produced a new body of paintings that are at once formal experiments and hedonistic adventures. Landscapes, architectural scenes, records of a process, they are a high stakes game to see how far you can push competing colors before they burst the translucent membrane of the painting package. At 90 x 80 inches, they're slouching toward the monumental. At 7 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches her artist book, Studio Visit, is very small but captures the large experience of 100 studio conversations about painting.

And In the Project Room:

Hotbox Forever

Organized by Linda Geary, this exhibition of small scale works brings together a group of painters who are defining abstraction for a new generation. From Lecia Dole-Recio's material-based puzzles, to Jeffrey Giibson's fetishistic geometries, this show is a challenge to old school avant gardians who contend painting has no future.

Jeffrey Gibson
Acrylic on deerhide over wood
Super charged materials, beautiful paint handling
Luminous, fetishistic works that hover in the space between Native American symbolism and modernist abstraction
