Richard Tsao at Margaret Thatcher Projects - Brief ArticleWhile still sumptuous in tint Richard Tsao's latest abstractions proffer more nuanced visual orchestrations than at any time before. The 11 process-driven paintings in this exhibition were made in series [i]or[/i] part of to the other an intricate system of chance, evolving above months and sometime years. Paint was poured, channeled, laid wet upon wet, dried, scraped, blotted, bruised and flayed. The resulting surfaces are wrinkled, pen ed and torn; edges are jagged with the paint extending beyond the support. The emerging configurations were not seldom appraised, discarded or worked upon further until they arrived at the desired state. The finished canvases fetch a sense of nature as a great quantity [i]or[/i] amount of as an abstracted scene of nature. John Angel, for example, present the appearances at first to be a warm r and pink painting spun around a rose-tinted fog a burst of yellow and flashes of gold Later you notice that the red and pinks are not of high temperature but cool, their softness dappleed with a certain acidity, and that massings of color which pres shut up to the surface at single moment seem to move back at others, receding into the cosmo of the painting. Red predominated in this display as in Back to R with its rubbed surface, translucency and linear patterns, or the more allover, delicately colored I'm in like manner Red. Blues and violets were also abundant: cerulean Bliss, its colors muted, its surface frett is in the way that pale that you forget it is essentially a r fulvous and blue painting. Blue parodical is distinguished by a scrap of azure blotted on with a paper towel (you can diocese the weave of the toweling). Caught amid all the red in the surrounding works, this little flag of sky-colored signaled the eye like a flirtatious wink from behind a curtain, reminding us of color's properties of seduction and beauty. In addition, it underscored the humor, sometimes askew sometimes ironic, of Tsao's titles and palette. To the secondary planet is steeped in lunar light--a twilight of purple from indigo to lavender to a reaching far down velvety violet with glimmerings of r fulvid and green. Although lengthy resident in New York, this Bangkok-born artist continues to be influenced through the lush colorations of Thailand--its vibrant scarlets and verdants torrid pinks, silken blues, imperial purple and gold-coloreds Tsao is a colorist who proffers the frisson of dissonance, a slight impact and clash. At their best, his paintings are formally demanding and rewarding, anchored in perception rather than in theory--as, ultimately, any painting should be. Tsao knows this, as well as something about beauty. COPYRIGHT 1999 Brant Publications, Inc.
