Logan Grider "clamor"
Thierry Goldberg
This event has ended.
Logan Grider's latest paintings offer a mix of Constructivism and classic abstraction. In clamoring arrangements, shape, color, and form commingle with Grider’s desire to, “construct representations of sounds, emotional states, conversations, and actions.” The ensuing mélange of techniques, history, and memory always stand one step beyond recognition, on the tip of one’s tongue. Illusive, comic, and warm, the paintings invite the viewers to question the depicted space as well as their own realities.
In sometimes-playful sometimes-tumultuous cumulation, Grider’s spaces assemble elements of 20th century abstraction as touchstones for composing contemporary emotional contexts. The vernacular is consistent with Precisionism and Cubism pulsing with the formal inventiveness of Thomas Nozkowski, and the humor of Milton Avery. Rubbing, washing, scrapping, and blending Grider breathes a lightness and curiosity into the heavy vintage modernist hand.
