Philip Taaffe, Nocturne with Architectural Fragments, 2014, mixed media on canvas, 150 x 111 1/4 inches (courtesy of Luhring Augustine)
James Kalm visits an exhibition of new paintings by Philip Taaffe at Luhring Augustine Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York, on view through April 26. 2015.
Kalm notes: "This selection of five large scale paintings presents the artist's signature techniques a melding of print, staining, silkscreen and other applications of pigment that produce a unique and decorative composition, while remaining mysteriously formalistic... When you start showing a series of paintings that are this size and take up the space like this, you're definitely dealing with the good, old mythical scale of the Abstract Expressionists."
