I
had a friend complain about the lack of love for op art. Well, I gotta say,
computers really seem to have opened some stuff up for op art painters.
Thompson’s paintings looks like very faint digital images that have been
enlarged and stretched so that the squares of information are barely visible
and the space between them forms a white screen on top. This creates some
very lovely large minimalist paintings with mild hints of color under a light
haze that bounces and undulates as your eye struggles to find a plane of focus.
And, as if to show some dexterity, three large, aggressive black and gray
paintings with wide, thick brush strokes feel as heavy as the white paintings
feel light.
Through Feb. 21st
