The look, feel, and stuff of the Dharma. Principles of Zazen (Shōbōgenzō Zazengi). Universally Recommended Instructions for Zazen (Fukanzazengi). Waiting for the Sincere Question. My grandmother we called her Oma struggled with Alzheimer’s before passing away a few years ago. One evening after dinner, during her last Christmas visit with our family, we were sitting around the table Oma, my brother, Tracy, and I. Oma took a cookie from her plate, held it up, and asked, What is it? And since the rule is we...

(fundamental) PAINTING: August 2011

http://fundamentalpainting.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

There is a relaxed elegance to Guy Yanai’s paintings. A feeling of warmth and good light pervades. Characterised by a patchwork of shapes his works are assembled in a way that is both purposeful and deliberate. Blocks of solid colour butt up against one another describing surfaces and space; the skill with which they are balanced making the paintings resonate. This is bright, sharp, observant painting.

(fundamental) PAINTING: June 2011

http://fundamentalpainting.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

I have seen Julian Wakelin’s work in a number of shows recently and it never fails to make an impact on me. Wakelin’s brand of abstract painting is scruffy and quite modest; but it is not casual. Careful consideration is evident. When making paintings like this it is very easy to fail; the purposefulness of this work should not go unrecognised. These are concentrated paintings but they are far from laboured or arduous. They are artworks that could only exist as abstract paintings. And a bit of opinion).

(fundamental) PAINTING: February 2012

They manage to be both deadpan and theatrical; purposefully spare with flourishes that allude to something a little more frivolous (the ephemera of parties, drapery and costume in the case of the work shown here). Shaw’s is thoughtful work well made. Paul Behnke’s paintings don’t skirt around the issue. Subtlety is not their mode. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A catalogue of essential painting.

(fundamental) PAINTING: Patricia Treib

http://fundamentalpainting.blogspot.com/2013/07/patricia-treib.html

Confident, bold, fluid mark making characterizes much of Patricia Treib’s work. Forms slip and slide; calligraphic brushstrokes moving forwards and back. Discrete marks relate to one another in interesting ways and give the feeling of a shifting viewpoint. Treib’s are dynamic works that unfold as they are scrutinized; sometimes difficult to pin down they are reliably intriguing. A catalogue of essential painting. And a bit of opinion).

On first glance Kim Van Someren’s output may not appear to fall within my remit. She doesn’t make paintings for a start. I am not, however, going to be constricted by my own title. Van Someren’s works have much about them to admire. I like the labour, I like the quality of mark and I like the vehicle. Forts are evocative; they have interesting connotations.
