	glbtq >> arts >> Bleckner, Ross
		American neo-abstractionist artist Ross Bleckner typically draws upon and plays with earlier traditions of abstraction, frequently by integrating his private experience as a gay man to public concerns surrounding gay identity and, especially, the AIDS crisis.
		Borrowing from the past, Bleckner evokes the Dutch tradition of still life paintings that served as memento mori, a reminder of life's brevity and the inevitability of death.
		Bleckner conceived the paintings in this group as "memorials" commemorating the loss of life, most hauntingly in their allusion to the tragedy of AIDS.

	About Ross Bleckner: An Introduction
		Bleckner studied with Chuck Close at NYU and Sol Lewitt at CalArts, while his painting style has developed from inborn talent and investigative practice.
		Ross Bleckner’s latest incarnation of the dot suggests a melting cupcake, a marshmallow, an overripe chrysanthemum or a puffball peony.
		Nowadays, Bleckner likes to pretend that he didn't crawl out of his studio until the later eighties, but the truth is that both his remarkable discipline and his love of schmoozing were manifest early on.

		Bleckner's compositions are only slightly nuanced repetitions; endless off-color cells align themselves in infinite rows, separate into strands and submit to magnification.
		Where Bleckner peels back the skin, there may be a fetishistic effect; by exposing the depth of our inner fragility, the artist conjures up an unexpected notion of immortality.
		Ross Bleckner: New Paintings is on view through May 11 at Vaknin Schwartz, 1831 Peachtree Road.

	Memories of light - Ross Bleckner, Guggenheim Museum, New York, New York Art in America - Find Articles
		While much of Bleckner's work can be divided into distinct groups or series with motifs repeated from painting to painting, he is also in the habit of redeploying and combining old motifs.
		Bleckner was first included in a Whitney Biennial in 1975, and later that year he had his first solo exhibition, at the Cunningham Ward Gallery in New York.
		Even when, in Infatuation (1986-87), one of his more problematic efforts, Bleckner seemingly attempts to transmute the stripes into wrapping paper by superimposing the image of a ribbon tied in a bow, they maintain their identity as literal traces of paint.

		Bleckner takes me up a flight of stairs and into his second-floor office, where he continuously paces and interrupts himself with thoughts, digressions, and new discoveries.
		In his largely fl paintings of the period, memorial urns thrust themselves toward the viewer and wreaths of flowers float in defiance of gravityâ”it's as if Bleckner were depicting images from the thoughts and nightmares of those dealing with the AIDS epidemic; even the names of the dead haunt the titles of the works.
		"Ross' living quarters remind me of an apartment in Romeâ”very cool, very neat, but never in a flashy way, like Ross himself." Bleckner is indeed a cool presence, but, amidst the perfect order of his surroundings, he can still be effusive and down-to-earth.

		What her remembers of his childhood and adolescence, however, is crashing his Pontiac GTO and a sense of alienation he later described in Art in America as "a certain sadness"-the estrangement he felt as a gay youth: "I would mimic the social strategies I saw, but I knew that for me they didn't have resonance."
		Nowadays, Bleckner like to pretend that he didn't crawl out of hi studio until the later eighties, but the truth is that both his remarkable discipline and his love of schmoozing were manifest early on.
		T night, Bleckner hung out at the Mudd Club-conveniently located right downstairs, since he'd rented the owners the space in his building-earning the attention of dedicated clubbers like Stephen Saba, the nightlife critic for Details.

		Ross Bleckner has a canny ability to come up with just the right amount of variation on his familiar brand of moody, transcendentalist painting to keep art audiences enthralled.
		Setting aside the urns, birds and flowers that were central to his earlier images, Bleckner has settled on a repeated format of allover compositions packed with countless abutting cell-like shapes rendered by means of an airbrush.

		It is well known that much of Bleckner’s work makes references to AIDS and the deaths related to this disease.
		But as time progresses, so too has Bleckner's art, as he continues to creatively blend the abstract with the representational -- to create something truly original
		My work is a double exploration: one that examines our modes of communication and how they work when used in fragments or in part; and one that wonders aloud about our emotional responses to the written word, the use of symbol, the serial occurrence..

		“There’s a deliberate obsession with form in Ross Bleckner’s paintings.
		They give the impression at first of being abstract exercises at best, striking images, at worst, pure indulgence.
		Bleckner’s technique has been very influential, which both works for him and is held against him.

		The exhibition includes 14 large-scale paintings and sculptures by 11 celebrated and sometimes controversial artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ross Bleckner, Eric Fischl, Jack Goldstein, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Sherrie Levine, Robert Longo, David Salle, Julian Schnabel and Mark Tansey.
		Bleckner's glowing Brothers' Sword (1986) suggests a sense of almost religious transcendence, yet also is a political statement of support for AIDS victims.
		The violent, colorful burst of Goldstein's Untitled (1988) recalls the spontaneity of abstract expressionism, yet its cool tone and glossy sheen slyly reveal the painting's photographic inspiration.

	In the Power of Painting - Modern Museum - Absolutearts.com
		In the Power of Painting focuses on several central aspects of painting from the 1950s to the 1980s through six of the most outstanding painters of the period: Andy Warhol, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Cy Twombly, Brice Marden and Ross Bleckner.
		Bleckner's work seems to emerge from his sexual identity, a reality stamped by illness, Aids and death, which he recreates as a visual world composed of metaphors for the contest between light and darkness.
		Since the late '80s Bleckner has been moving towards an abstraction, which culminates in a work from 1998, in which nature seems to take over as an uncontrollable force.
