Film by Eric Minh Swenson. The William Turner Gallery is pleased to present, Recent Works, a collection of new paintings from Los Angeles based artist, Andy Moses. Continuing his exploration into the nature of paint, Andy Moses’s newest works are mesmerizing hybrids of art and science. Implementing boundary-pushing techniques that he’s been practicing for the past 30 years, Moses creates paintings that blur the line between pure abstraction and a new kind of pictorialism. These aren’t representational images, yet there are undeniable traces of natural phenomena in Moses’s paintings. He seeks not to replicate imagery from the natural world, but to mimic nature itself. His complex process of altering, mixing and pouring paints is informed by the physical behavior and interaction of his medium with the forces of nature. Moses’s sweeping, luminous surfaces are executed with an almost impossible precision - a precision that is simultaneously organic and fluid. His meandering lines of psychedelic chroma oscillate between near digital sharpness and dissolving washes of color. In these works, Moses has managed to achieve a unity of line and color that has an extraordinary presence. Moses acts as a sort of alchemist, first mixing and transforming his paints for weeks and then applying them in a single marathon session. Critic Shana Nys Dambrot says of his process, “More than a painterly technique, his composition resembles an orchestration of observed natural phenomena: gravity, viscosity, hydrodynamics. He manipulates thickness instead of brushwork, motion instead of gesture, to replicate both natural and transformational processes, forcing idea and matter into a conscious collaboration.” Andy Moses lives and works in Venice, CA. His paintings are included in a number of prominent public and private collections including the Laguna Art Museum and the Fredrick R Weisman Art Foundation.
