Daniel Richter, All the beautiful men were not able to put me back together again, 2011, Oil on canvas, 78.74 x 118.11 x 1.57 inches (courtesy Regen Projects, Los Angeles)
Geoff Tuck reviews the exhibition Daniel Richter: A concert of purpose and action at Regen Projects II, Los Angeles, on view through February 18, 2012.
Tuck writes that: "the paintings in this show alternate between the quiet and the chaotic: landscapes that are represented like in comics and topographical maps – on a soft colored ground lines are drawn with paint, the figures are much smaller than life size and feel like quotes from movies... [Richter] draws seamlessly from our common cultures of art, entertainment, violence, music, etc., and plants these things in his paintings."
