LOOK INTO MY OWL

One week before her latest solo show, “Boom & Bust” at Winkleman Gallery, Joy Garnett gave us the lowdown on her new work and let us take some photos around her SoHo studio. We had a look at some paintings, including several slated for her exhibition, before being packed for delivery to the gallery. Joy also gave us a preview of some new prints and the work that went into the color separations.

The most notable change in this recent work is the dissolution of horizon. Literal detachment from the natural world has pushed her efforts further toward abstraction. The energetic action paintings display a refreshing confidence in tools, composition and color. Some of her source material, declassified photographs of massive man made and natural explosions were on hand. It was particularly interesting to learn that her reference for a painting does not stem exclusively from a specific image. Her gestures and color selections initiate from living with large amounts of source imagery and are represented on canvas as a culmination of this visual knowledge.

We left Joy Garnett’s studio feeling frisky and craving to see more paintings. Luckily, the opening reception for “Boom & Bust” is rapidly approaching. Friday, October 15th from 6-8PM, we’ll see you there.
