Recent Paintings
Mel Bochner: Recent Paintings features ten new works that build on his Thesaurus paintings, an ongoing series that examines the interplay of text and image. Using a hydraulic press the artist applies paint on a white velvet ground so that there is clarity of form in the precise letters alongside random washes of color. Here Bochner plays with the effects of color on our perception and examines the politics of language and its hidden ideologies.
