KATI HECK - THAT’S NOT HOW WE DO THINGS AROUND HERE
A little late on this one, but Kati Heck recently concluded her show at Mary Boone. First off, these paintings are HUGE. The piece pictured above, “That’s Not How We Do Things Around here”, is oil on canvas and measures in roughly at 9 x 10.5′. Secondly, I love the way that she didn’t work the piece to a consistent level of detail. This is an old masters trick used to good result in a currently themed work. Lastly, this lack of definition seems to provoke a very three dimensional space.
