Cut: New Works on Wood

Alex Brewer’s summer show CUT: NEW WORKS ON WOOD at Sandler Hudson Gallery offered an intriguing glimpse into the artist’s creative process and its evolution since his days as a graffiti-slinging teen known as HENSE. Cut signaled a transitional phase for Brewer. In the multipart installation “21 Shapes,” Brewer broke his murals into pieces, mounted them on wood, and rearranged the parts across a large wall for a deconstructed view of his bright, abstract vibe. In Cut Brewer explored a collage-based, Tetris-like process for pieces such as “Ply” and “Stacked,” for which he carefully placed odd-shaped wood cutouts into complex color-charged layouts. Cut was a successful exploration of where Brewer has been and where he is going. www.hensethename.com. less...

New Paintings by Ross Bleckner
Vaknin Schwartz, 1831 Peachtree Road, 404-351-0035
CL chooses the high-contrast encounter of paintings by Ross Bleckner and Rainer Gross, a simulcast in the adjoining Vaknin Schwartz and Marcia Wood galleries last April. The pool of beauty in the pure colored Contact Paintings was a refreshing counterpoint to the dis-ease in Bleckner’s gorgeous and scary biology lessons on view next door.
