James Brinsfield: Sky Way May 8, 2010

Brinsfield is now in the vanguard of postmodern artists making abstract paintings that subtly fold in personal as well as political content. Combining content with abstraction is an aesthetic high-wire act; Brinsfield accomplishes it in a variety of ways. His paintings, made with shiny enamel paint on paper attached to canvas, have sleek liquid surfaces that are beautiful and enormously seductive.
