John Yau reviews Anoka Faruqee: Rainbows and Bruises at Koenig & Clinton , New York, on view through April 8, 2017.
Yau concludes: "By opening up the geometric while maintaining a painstaking approach, Faruqee seems to have entered new, uncharted territory. While the Moireseries recalls the history of weaving and decorative fabrics, the white Circlepaintings evoke the digital age we have immersed ourselves in. The white patches and clots of paint remind us that at this stage of civilization’s existence, matter cannot be easily overcome."
