Philip Taaffe @ Gagosian

Wow. Beautiful. I also regret not seeing this show. I left NY the day this show opened at Gagosian. Taaffe continues to interest to me for his ability to employ technology in painting, but make such “effortless” imagery. Despite his precise tools and preparation, his paintings appear so loose - as if they just happened naturally. The color, transparency, and complexity keep me looking. What are those red and purple shapes?

    I agree, he rocks the painting scene!

    Oh, man, I didn’t even know about this show. The one he had here at Gagosian in Los Angeles a few years ago blew me away. Thanks!
