 Art in America: Andrew Spence at Edward Thorp - New York - Art exhibits
His innate drollness is offset by an acute attention to surface; in contrast to the often geometric nature of his imagery, there is a palpable sensuality in these smooth, waxy layers of oil paint masterfully applied with a palette knife--shapes of thick, solid pigment divided by satisfyingly clean, almost engraved edges.
Our expectation of primary colors is happily thwarted by Spence's use of grass green rather than yellow with his blue and red, and there's an implied shadow of purple where the blue lines cross the red background.
These are austere paintings, in that they employ large monochromatic areas and uncomplicated images, yet there is a subtle goofiness in Spence's simple emblematic patterns, often delineated on grounds of the insouciant primary and secondary colors we associate with children's toys.
