Joanne Mattera blogs about four recent exhibitions - Steven Alexander, Recent Paintings at David Findlay Gallery, Warren Isensee, New Work at Danese Gallery, Chris Johanson, Windows at Mitchell-Innes and Nash (through October 20), and Christian Maychack, Flats at Jeff Bailey Gallery - featuring "four artists (two painters, two painter/sculptors) are building geometry, whether layer by layer, line by line, or piece by piece. There's a strong sense of materiality that runs through much of the work."

James Kalm visits an untitled summer painting exhibition at Mitchell-Innes & Nash featuring the work of Katherine Bernhardt, Alfred Jensen, Chris Johanson, Chris Martin, Andrew Masullo and Judith Scott on view through August 5, 2011.
The press release notes that the artists share "hand-wrought qualities and an aggressively direct use of color, texture, and material, their work provokes cultural and psychological readings as well as aesthetic ones... They suggest and supersede a number of dichotomies: abstraction and representation, skilled and unskilled, polished and crude, innocent and knowing."
