Joshua Abelow photoblogs installation images of the exhibition Ida Ekblad at Green Naftali Gallery, New York on view through October 15, 2011.
Emily Nathan, writing for artnet this week notes: "Along with other younger artists, Ekblad is putting her own stamp on a kind of evocative abstraction that had seemed exhausted by earlier masters, from Wassily Kandinsky and Joan Miró to Jackson Pollock and Asger Jorn, and her works offer a refreshing return to the simple, physical pleasure of sculpture and painting. Sensual, visceral and exuberant, the show is an oasis in a desert of glib irony."
