Jason Karolak continues his explorations of linear, florescent paint strokes on a black field, but he has dispensed with his usual freewheeling approach for something more deliberate: three out of the four easel-sized untitled paintings presented here (all 2016) are quasi-symmetrical wireframe designs involving rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms that flip back and forth in space, or lie flat against the picture plane, depending on how you choose to look at them.

Sloan, for one, shows an unusually wide range of both subject matter and use of paint, from the Ashcan-y "Wet Night on the Bowery" (21984) to the Impressionistic "Autumn, Rocks and Bushes" (22016) to the quasi-Metaphysical "Evening, Santa Fe, Down by the D and R Track" (18113), not to mention the truly odd portrait he made of Farr, "Helen at the Easel" (21811), which is striated by innumerable, short, thin brushstrokes (which are unexplained by the wall text) streaking across the head, body, clothing, and background, as if the painting were a pedagogical exercise in volumetric form.
