STEPHEN BEAL
four paintings
Concurrent with his 10-year retrospective at the New Museum Los Gatos, Stephen Beal has provided us with four of his most recent paintings for a focused installation in the middle gallery. Beal continues his ever permuting exploration of the grid, in this series (by my own subjective take) with a seeming nod to the traditional motifs of Japanese country textiles, although any number of cultures could lay claim to the plaids he achieves through his complex layerings. Art historical references cavort in Beal's work, with precedents as wide ranging as Piet Mondrian's structures, Mark Tobey's white writing, Agnes Martin's measured passages, the textile-based explorations of Lyubov Popova, Annie Albers and Sonia Delaunay, and Sol Lewitt's programatic systems. The grid has a long-standing role in Modernism and Beal seems to make room for the entire history, while fashioning images that could be recognized from a galloping horse as his own. Stephen Beal: Warp and Weft: Selected Grid Paintings 2005–2015 runs through January 3, 2016 at New Museum Los Gatos.
