ReviewMarch 19, 2008When painting was pronounced dead in the early '80s, counterculture artist Steven Parrino decided to give it another spin. Raw, bold, and straightforward, the late artist transformed canvases into skewed sculptures. This powerful show of his work boasts several of those large "misshaped" paintings, the radical reinterpretations of earlier minimalist statements. In Scab Noggin , a silver square twists on its frame and hangs with ruched folds. Two aluminum-painted canvases are both entitled Warped Hole and have exactly that cut out of their centers. In Bentoverslime #1 , an aluminum, blue-enameled square is roughly bent into a trapezoid, resembling a car hood. In another medium, Parrino's edgy drawing series The End of All Things collides black-marker cartoons of fanged smiley faces with rockets, skulls, and pinups. -Marlyne Sahakian |
