Italian artist Chiara Minchio's solo US debut presents a selection of elegant paintings that reveal nostalgia for the sleek forms of art-deco design and futurist art. The artist has created a series of abstract, geometric oils whose jewel-like facets of saturated color dissolve upon closer inspection into washed-out drips and stains. Her strongest paintings interlace abstraction with portraiture; in Frau mit Muster, the braiding together of a pensive female face and quilted patches of color suggests a fractured subjectivity. Although the 11 paintings can feel repetitive, at her best, Minchio revives the visual language of a previous episode of modernism to intriguing effect.
