Upon viewing, I couldn't quite decide... Something about the deliberate, confident layered effects of using paint, which is to say color, plain and simple (yet not)... Somewhere between hackneyed, tried and true abstraction and something else... Then, with titles, it dawned on me... A sublime engagement with modestly-sized, square paintings in a post abstract painting world. And yet, applied paint, manipulated color honors edge and control.
