Ridley Howard, Lake House at Night, 2016, oil on linen, 25 x 32 inches (courtesy of the artist)
Jennifer Samet interviews painter Ridley Howard whose works are included in Intimisms at James Cohan Gallery, New York, on view through July 29, 2016.
Howard comments: "I love playing formal games in the work, but I want the figurative elements and the formal elements to inform one another. I hope it all adds up to some kind of larger experience. A blue painting feels very different from a yellow painting, beyond just the color itself. A stripe is never just a stripe; a color is never just a color."
