Rhythm
and Form
In the perhaps neglected, expansive and well-lit space of 22 Wooster was
“Rhythm and Form,” which closed January 28. The group show
was a visual barrage of different styles and sensibilities. Kim Hardiman’s
decorative drawings/collages on rice paper are searching out “color,
movement, light, energy, rhythm, form” and they embody the feel
of kimonos, Chinese lanterns, and summer parasols in their delicacy of
color, lines, and appliqués. Judith Quinn’s Reinhardt-like
black grip paintings are deceptively rich and voluptuous, the shaded blacks
setting up Mondrian patterns. Punctuating the works are stripped squares
of pure, cake-decorator-applied thick, oozing paint, providing a sharp,
bumble-bee flash in the darkness. Politically oriented, the works are
visually striking.
Richard Whitten’s
voluminous, richly chiaroscuro’d succulent forms look like Jed Garet’s
swirls come home to rest. In his “Valentine Alter” the Quattrocento
gold, red and black refers to the coloration of holy deities, in this
case being the mortal organ of the heart. With the brooding, cloudy colors
the work remains fresh, pulsating striated by the occasional stigmata
from the sky.
Drew Shiflett also refers to sacred objects, creating coffin/icons,
with picket-fence frames around cameo portraits of still-lifes with anxious
women. The boat-like constructions with their hollowed-out centers and
light-ray patterning are repetitious, thereby chanting a welcome to Shiflett’s
own gods.
