Tuesday's Gallery Picks

The artists in this week’s gallery picks experiment with lines in surprising and playful ways.

1. Robert Irwin has produced eight works that advance his use of fluorescent light, a material he first used in the 1970s. Irwin installs rows of columnar lights, coating the different tubes with colored gels that alter the transmission of light. Other tubes remain unlit taking some advantage of the reflected light at Pace Gallery
2. American artist Lloyd Martin, known internationally for his rhythmically constructed abstract painting, continues his engagement with color and line in this outstanding body of work at Stux Gallery
3. By employing gravity to manipulate printmaking grounds, Ian Davenport’s graphic works produce images that reflect the result the artist has achieved in his glossy pour paintings. The artworks continue his process-based investigation of the paradox between chance and control, the industrial and organic at Pace Prints
4. Hattie Stewart’s Adversary will take on glossy advertising imagery with Stewart’s characteristic homage-meets-satire approach at House of Illustration
5. Jimi Gleason’s silver deposit surfaces act as enigmatic mirrors that are activated by the viewer and the environment they are situated in. Light, color and form are injected into the paintings via the external world – through this movement, Gleason hopes to induce a meditative experience for his viewers at William Turner Gallery
6. Dipping and undulating lines make reference to animal and human body contours only to be interrupted by sharp turns that deny their voluptuousness in Josh Dihle’s work at Valerie Carberry Gallery

Tuesday's Gallery Picks

We love the sumptuous color palettes in this week’s gallery picks- they’re lush, vibrant and full of punch.

1. Casper Brindle’s work occupies the space where Color Field painting, Light and Space conceptualism and Finish Fetish sensibilities intersect at William Turner Gallery
2. Bill Jensen attempts to create paintings which, like self-contained beings, affect the world around them—a characteristic Jensen refers to as “emotional density.” His new paintings explore these longstanding concerns at Chaim Read
3. Laura Lancaster’s work is extracted from an archive of anonymous thrift store and flea market photographs. In these new paintings, Lancaster has used found home movie reels of super 8 film, the first time that moving images have been incorporated into her work.  Each work is a captured one-second frame, chosen from hundreds of films Lancaster viewed and then reviewed to render in either a domestic or cinematic size at Sargent’s Daughters
4. Drawing on manifestations of home, Ann Agee creates installations that explore notions of interior life, material culture, feminism and personal history. Interested in investigating the limitations of appropriation, mimicry and manufacturing, Agee employs familiar motifs – from household objects to modernist architecture – that she at once subverts, infusing them with her own personal and familial narratives at P.P.O.W
5. Richard Diebenkorn’s seductive color palettes and intricately balanced compositions draw from the light and a sense of the places in which he worked, and define a career that spanned more than four decades at Royal Academy
6. A decade Linda Touby ‘s art in Rare Bird at CK Contemporary
