2 COATS OF PAINT REVIEW of SURVEYOR at SUSAN INGLETT

The Act of Making: Ryan Wallace at Susan Inglett
by Sharon Butler

Ryan Wallace’s paintings are shaggy collages, pieced together from canvas strips, screens, tiles, metallic tapes, and found objects. His new work, on view at Susan Inglett through October 15, features the odd shapes of the light refractions that appear on the walls. By tracing the luminescence, and turning the shapes into concrete objects, Wallace’s paintings take a well-aimed shot at capturing the ephemeral, forgotten moments of life though an aggressively anti-digital, messy, non-curated process.

“Ryan Wallace: Surveyor,” Susan Inglett, Chelsea, New York, NY. Through October 15, 2015.
