| The press release speaks of flags, sports logos and Peter Halley's studio, but the notion of over and under prevails. |
 |
| The hanging banners more a way to view space through layers, much like the paintings themselves. |
 |
| At Brennan and Griffin, LA painter Pamela Jorden, new to me : Artist website |

| A beautiful Steve di Beneditto from 2015. |

| Tracy Thomason, updating Auerbach's use of white as a color within saturated fields, not to mention wonderful textures, touch. |
 |
| And a fine Louise Fishman work on paper from 1973, beautiful! Gallery Link |
 |

 |
| Earlier in the evolution, I suspect. The markings really beautiful. |
 |

 |
| Spatial over and under, earth mixed with pigment, sanded and built surfaces, ... |
 |
| Cracks, textures, additions (these are small paintings in the back) |
 |
