Paul Pagk, 2015, 70 x 70 inches, oil on linen
My sincere thanks to Paul Pagk for a wonderful visit to his Tribeca studio to see a group of magnificent new paintings, and snoop around his rich environment. It was great to see works in progress, and get a close look at his sumptuous oil surfaces. It was also nice to see a wealth of small paintings and drawings scattered around the studio. Paul makes his own paint with ground pigments to achieve extraordinarily nuanced color. The entire space and its contents reflect Paul's relentless visual, intellectual and intuitive explorations - probing painting's endless possibilities.
