Artist Crush: Ryan McLaughlin

Thursday, January 23, 2014 · No Comments

These paintings, from Ryan McLaughlin’s show Raisins at Laurel Gitlin, have a natural, easy-to-appreciate appeal that is uncommon in abstract art.

“Having lived in Berlin for many years, much of the imagery that surfaces in McLaughlin’s new series of paintings is very specifically German-oriented. Those who are familiar might recognize certain ubiquitous logos and symbols in McLaughlin’s particular variety of painterly ‘almost-abstractions.’ There is a certain kind of pictorial alchemy that occurs in his paintings… The flat graphic elements (seem) as if they had almost floated to the surface of the painting.” – Scott C. Weaver
