  • Catalogue Essay

    “The Entablatures represent my response to Minimalism and the art of Donald Judd and Kenneth Noland. It’s my way of saying that the Greeks did repeated motifs very early on, and I am showing, in a humorous way, that Minimalism has a long history… It was essentially a way of making a Minimalist painting that has a Classical reference.”
