"Proposals for a Chromatic Modernism"
Removal of ornamentation from objects of everyday use
I love the ceiling in this gallery !
Aren't these bright colors ornamentation? (primary colors?) These cabinets ? even though plain, they have decorative design.

Non-achievable utopia.
Architecture
The canvas looks dry, eeriness, the image is fading.
His layering has a specific feel -like a print that isn't perfectly matched up.
He uses the texture of the canvas to give dimension and a sense of space.
navy blue + baby pink = I like
I don't like the way he leaves the sides of his canvas - a hardened drip, a white crust. It cheapens the image and is competing for the viewers attention. I would prefer it were clean and flat.
I normally enjoy portraiture most, but I don't think his technique translates well on his figurative work, it looks much more appropriate on spacial and architectural depictions.

"The Pregnant Mountain"
Overwhelming amount of work.
The way the work was framed was distracting, I liked the dark brown simple frames on the photographs, I think it complimented them well, but I hated the lighter brown frames on his other work. Did he imagine his prints to be bordered like this when he was organizing his composition?
The video didn't match the rest of the work, I was confused. Actually, the whole gallery didn't seem like one unified show.
The back room -! Haphazard set up, but I like being able to walk through it. I like the idea of creating an atmosphere for the work to sit in, and I really loved the sheets on the beds, I want these sheets !
