Sharon Butler visits the exhibition Gordon Moore: Paintings and Photo-Emulsion Drawings on view at Betty Cuningham Gallery, New York, through February 11, 2012.

Butler notes that "Juxtaposing dimensional space with drawn and painted shapes, Moore's reductive paintings reflect his interest in the illusions perpetrated by photography and linear perspective. Within a single canvas he combines three or more distinct types of space, using flat shapes of color and drawn lines, some of which are deliberately masked out, others are more randomly intuitive."
