Piri Halasz reviews the work of Louise P. Sloane on view in the exhibition Louise & Randy: Hotter than 'Ell at Sideshow Gallery in Brooklyn through November 13, 2011.

Halasz writes that Sloane's paintings are "painstakingly covered with completely straight, narrow rows of somewhat squiggly rows of paint. These have been put in place by a pastry tube, but on top of a base layer of usually contrasting color, and covered over by a third layer, so that the effect is of a lush bed of plants or a richly embroidered fabric."
