Larry Poons Exhibition at Danese Gallery Features New Equilibrium in Abstract Paintings
At Danese gallery, Larry Poons showcases a new collection of artworks until March 17, 2007, located at 535 West 24th Street, 6th Floor, New York. This exhibition highlights large canvases characterized by thick, swirling paint, merging early flat abstraction with later romantic tendencies. Poons employs a color palette of earthy browns and greens, juxtaposed with vibrant pinks and blues. One notable piece from 2005, titled "Could You Love Me One More Time," is particularly appealing to formalist admirers. His body of work illustrates a duality in painting, balancing tranquility and turmoil. The exhibition draws parallels to Jules Olitski and the later landscapes of Pierre Bonnard, while also evoking narratives reminiscent of Jackson Pollock's "Mural" and reflecting Cecily Brown's intense sexuality. This review was published in the New York Sun on March 15, 2007.
