Michael Woodock Paintings 2008 to 2010 | ||
48 Pages / paperback |
“Michael Woodcock makes paintings that do curious things with time and space while never letting you forget the here-and-now. That’s no mean feat, and the L.A. artist makes it look easy, or at least as if it’s no big deal. Neither precious nor unduly impressed with themselves, his square wood panels present brief, fleeting moments loaded with enough potential to be anything but incidental. Each of his humble, understated paintings is a down-to-earth instance in which the simplest of things seem to burst with significance—to be just the right mix of everyday obviousness and transcendent mystery that the unlikely combination triggers insights into our mundane, otherwise unremarkable surroundings by heightening our emotional connection to the world around us, which we sometimes share with others and at other times inhabit as if all alone.” |
