Sharon Butler blogs about two shows: Deborah Dancy: Chasing the Light at Sears-Peyton, New York (through June 29) and Andrew Seto: Lazy Reader at Theodore:Art, Bushwick, Brooklyn (through June 16).
Both artists use a triangular motif in their recent work. Butler writes that Seto employs the form as "a kind of universality or perfection that metaphorically conveys beauty or truth," while "Dancy's trianglar forms are rooted in linear perspective, architecture, and the visual world."

The show features paintings by Chris Baker, Harriet Korman, Mel Bernstine, Gary Petersen, Steven Charles, and Andrew Seto; a group of artists that James Panero recently noted "share is a deeply felt relationship to paint and an appreciation of the magic it can conjure."

Kessler writes: "The best contemporary art in NYC right now can be seen in Bushwick, all in one building - 56 Bogart... [including] breathtaking wrap-around colorfield paintings by Shingo Francis... [and] Theodore:Art has one of the best shows of small abstract paintings I’ve seen in a long time."

Paul Behnke blogs installation images of the painting exhibition Three: Damien Flood, Joy Garnett, Andrew Seto, "a studied exhibition of contemporary abstractions that blur the lines between figuration and non-objectivity," on view at Theodore:Art through June 19, 2011.
Behnke's photos highlight the installation which the gallery "hung in a way that emphasizes the similarities and differences of the painters. By mixing the work and presenting it in small clusters Theodore allows the viewer to compare and contrast the concerns and approaches of each painter more readily without confining the paintings according [to] maker."
