Terry Winters: Knotted Graphs

Terry Winters: Knotted Graphs at Matthew Marks Gallery. "...The paintings on view in this exhibition mark an important step forward in Winters’ oeuvre. The influence of scientific theory is present in familiar grids and patterns upon which the images are built, and yet they possess a spontaneity and fluid movement in space that breaks away from any kind of rigid underpinning. One important reason for this is the artist’s decision to use transparent lake pigments almost exclusively. The artist notes that the transparency of the paints allows for one to witness 'all the events that went into the making of the painting.'"
