Today we feature the epoxy resin Charles Dodgson portraits by Eric Finzi, but hot-rolled steel Hanging Puddles were the jumping-off point this week at Art MoCo when we took a look at the work of the late Al Taylor. Sculptures and drawings of puddles in places they are not supposed to be.
More water followed in the form of black and white photographs by Clifford Ross, either calmly rippling or raging during various hurricanes.
We dried off to journey through recent history. Art history, that is, by way of a retrospective of shows covered by New York art critic Kim Levin. Not your typical art show, but an important one all the same with a completely different perspective.
Sometimes the sheer simplicity of black on white is all we really need and Dorothy Arnold’s drawings fit the bill. Had Enough says it all.
Hiroyuki Hamada brought almost tribal-looking sculptures and tondos to the table, round, square and oblong.
And Darren Grainger put an end to all the visual simplicity with a big ol’ garden hose. SM
