James Kalm appreciates painting, real painting. Having seen one of the two previous exhibitions by Grotjahn at this gallery, he had high expectations, and your reporter wasn't disappointed. Building up primitive "face" forms using arching streamers of rich oil paint Grotjahn pays homage to painterliness and brings it into a contemporary context. Hailing from Los Angeles, this young painter has received serious critical and institutional attentions including a one-person show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2006.

  • Keep coming back to this vid... wonderful.

  • @andrewweis only smart people use expensive canvases duh.

  • @eenkjet HA!!!

  • You are awesome. Thank you so much for all you do. As For me it's all about learning opportunities.

  • i like a lot of grothjahn's pieces but these look like a peacock and a stick of dynamite got a little too close to the canvas. busy, crusty, and poor design sense. very early 80's.
