Peter Malone's artcritical articles review exhibitions questioning virtuosity, landscape painting, and trompe-l'oeil

Peter Malone's articles on artcritical examine multiple exhibitions and artistic questions. His show "Counter Clockwise" continues until October 20, presenting new sculptures that advocate for technical mastery. Another exhibition explores how landscape painting has evolved to engage with modern concerns. The work of an innovative painter and collagist develops fresh approaches to represent marginalized communities and cultures. Abstract expressionist paintings feature in a separate display by a skilled painter. Six artists receive solo presentations across two galleries, though this clustered arrangement may not optimally showcase their compelling work. Malone also raises the question of whether trompe-l'oeil painting inevitably leads to disappointing conclusions.
