Zachary Keeting and Christopher Joy interview painter Clare Grill.
Grill discusses the source materials for her abstract paintings but she comments: "Often I'll start a painting with some kind of.. image or thing, then once the painting starts, the painting starts to have it's own set of rules at play, and then that's where the concern is... It's moved on from what it's source was." She continues noting that her sources are "inspiring but they're a jumping off point... I'm moved to make paintings and those are the things that I'm caring deeply about and trying to follow."

Joshua Abelow blogs images of the exhibition Primary at Nudashank, Baltimore, MD, on view through September 14, 2012.
The gallery materials state that "Working against convention, these artists are putting into practice an 'abject expressionism' in respect to materials, composition, color and form, sharing a rogue sense of what constitutes beauty. Among other things, the works in this exhibition reflect an instinctual acting upon surfaces or materials. The artists’ touches are visible, active, and at times assertive--each tear, scrape, twist and drip intentional and impactful."
