Dan Walsh: Uncommon Ground October 11, 2012

"Extremely interesting paintings," says New York Times art critic Roberta Smith of Dan Walsh's large-scale abstract works. Walsh extends the basic language of geometric shapes and grid compositions, but rather than creating hard-edged forms, he draws lines by hand and applies luminous color with soft brushes, always allowing for subtle inflections of light and color. 'UnCommon Ground' is Walsh's first solo museum exhibition in America. For this site-specific show of eight paintings, some as large as 70 x 140 and 55 x 90 inches, he applies thin black tape to the gallery wall, installing some of his works on top. In addition to the paintings, the exhibition includes three limited-edition handmade books designed and produced by the artist.
