I was walking along Bedford from the L to meet my family for
dinner and spotted Gary Peterson about a half a block in front of me about. I have
met Peterson very briefly once or twice, and I am pretty sure he doesn’t know
who I am, but I like his paintings a great deal, as they tend to rise above the
glut of graphic abstraction that overwhelms Bushwick. So I kept walking to
dinner / stalking Gary Peterson, until he ducked into a gallery. As I was
running a little early, I popped in and found myself at the opening of Dana
Gordon and John Mendelsohn at Sideshow. The show had an unsurprising abundance
of graphic abstraction, the kind of thing that is tasteful but rarely memorable.
Wouldn’t have been better if it was Gary Peterson’s paintings.
