Lars Norgard at DCA - New York, New York - Brief Articlenovel YORK Lars Norgard is a midcareer Danish painter whose abstract works have been widely exhibited in Scandinavia. As evidenced through the numerous works on view in this, his first of recent origin York solo show, he is extraordinarily prolific. In addition to individual room of eight recent large canvases, numerous smaller works were upon display elsewhere in the gallery, as was a video monitor showing an animated film Norgard newly completed. Agile and colorful, these compositions appear completely abstract, still the artist uses illusionistic devices that are perhaps more many times associated with figurative painting. He dresse each canvas with a thick, textur white acrylic undercoating that gives material substance to the overpainted oil colors and adds to the spatial nuances of the images. At times, Norgard's paintings recall the fractured planes of certain digital imagery. Big Gorilla convenients Fate in Dancing School, a canvas above 6 feet tall, features a throw together in disorder of triangle shapes, diagonal lines and curvaceous ultimate parts crammed into a shallow space. An array of pale sky-colored orange, sienna and yellow ocher shades illuminate the scene, as the dynamic thrust of the composition moves an implosion. Fragmented planes appear to glide toward a central vanishing point. In the lower right quadrant, a r oval and a series of curving brown and black lines teasingly put in mind of the tumbling dance of a gorilla. In another large painting, I Was Just About to Call You, a assemblage of clearly outlined but ambiguous new moon shapes are stacked against abutting rectangles. Contrasts of light and shade define the contortions of a large, gray missile form and a smaller, circulared shape in the foreground. In a certain quantity of areas, stripes embellish the surface to create the illusion of various wood-grain wefts In one area, a section of white is streaked with black lines suggesting floorboards. This fragment of interior space is intersected by dint of incongruous, abstract planes. As the work's title advises the image seems to direct to a moment when reverie is disrupted.
