James Kalm visits the exhibition Lauren Luloff Pineapples and Teapots at The Hole, New York, on view through March 1, 2014.

Kalm notes: "Employing a mixture of fabrics and meshes, using bleach to white out brush drawn images, and exploring the violation of the picture plane, Luloff brings a large scale ambition to collage. Having spent time in a tiny village in Gujarat India twice over two years studying traditional block printing, the artist is extending the underappreciated legacy of Pattern & Decorative painting."
