Gallerist at Home: Deborah Gribbon
Former Director of the J. Paul Getty Museum, and recent Interim Director of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Deborah Gribbon is by no means a gallerist or collector in the typical sense of the words. But she is most definitely a quick-witted, intelligent, and gifted scholar in the art world, both in and outside of Los Angeles.

Steve Locke // You Don't Deserve Me at Samson
One of the great things about being in Boston's South End is that we have tons of great art all around us. You may think that we have enough art to look at, given the competitions we manage, but it's always nice to see original works right in front of our eyes, rather than in digital and printed reproductions. Especially when the local installation belongs to one of New American Paintings past featured artists.

Flat Time Blue: Buddy Bunting at Prole Drift
The centerpiece of Buddy Bunting’s Flat Time Blue at Prole Drift (on view through May 27th) is a panoramic watercolor and flashe painting that stretches twelve feet across the wall. The painting depicts a prison washed out and warmed up with scalding bright yellow sun, its structural starkness rendered sheer and almost weightless. It’s the tenth in a series Bunting has been developing since 2004.

Sam Gordon at Feature Inc
Sam Gordon’s abstraction poses a photographer’s take on his show title, Trompe L’Oeil (On view at Feature Inc. through May 26th). A painter, photographer, and videographer, Gordon collects and weaves bits of the outside world, in his paintings of dust on mirrors and acrylic and bleach patterns on ratty quilts. Rather than the scrupulously reductive process of someone like Tony Matelli, though, Gordon’s spontaneity and raw materials feel like the naked cruise you get from a Wendy White or Terry Winters, or the anything-goes formalism of early experimental film.

Jen Erickson's Topographies Of Lost Memory
The tenuously-connected tissue of small marks on Jen Erickson's paintings at PUNCH Gallery (On view through June 3) fan out like smoke curls, clustered blooms of algae or exploding supernova. Some diptych panels, hung side-by-side, have mirrored designs, like bifurcated stains on a Rorschach blot or diagrams depicting binary division and replication of cells. The unfurling sprawl is comprised of thousands of graphite zeroes drawn over oil paint on panels. In this blend of the organic and mathematical, Erickson's work melancholically dwells on the inability to retain memory.

Weekly Recap (week of May 7)
Ok, another week bites the dust. I admit I'm getting really worried that I'm running out of ways to introduce the Weekly Recaps. I mean, at some point, it's going to get redundant, if it hasn't already. Regardless of the lackluster introductions, the content of our blog is always changing, which means these recaps will ultimately never get old. Right?
