Denny McCoy: The Blue Paintings
D Berman Gallery, through Dec. 2



November 24, 2005        

A review...

 
 

McCoy’s paintings remind us of the importance of simply “watching” a work of art, as advocated by Josef Albers in The Interaction of Color. The most successful of McCoy’s recent paintings are those whose hues are most subtly related to each-other allowing the viewer to watch while they change and evolve. From a distance, sections of Tyler appear to be made up of only two or three different shades of blue; moving closer, the variations multiply in vertical rectangles deployed horizontally across the canvas. The influence of one color on another and its subsequent effect on our perception makes for a surprisingly rewarding experience. Rather than striving to grab our attention with boisterous imagery and concepts, the paintings are mesmerizing in their quietness. -Eric Zimmerman
