Greg Lindquist's 'Smoke and Water: Dispatches' at Central Booking explores color and form in painterly experimentation.

From May 4 to May 28, 2017, Greg Lindquist's exhibition titled 'Smoke and Water: Dispatches' was showcased at Central Booking, situated at 21 Ludlow Street on New York's Lower East Side. This exhibition marked a notable transition in Lindquist's artistic style, shifting from his previous grayscale precision to a vibrant use of color. His innovative technique involved layering colors to create forms, producing a visual effect reminiscent of stencils or silkscreen methods. This technique enhances the imagery through chromatic amplification. The opening reception took place on Thursday, May 11, 2017. In a review from 2012, Christina Kee remarked on how the layered color process reflects a gradual image-making approach, fostering deeper connections between formal elements and thematic issues.
