One of my faves, Patrick Brennan, has two large works in Call & Response. He seems to be experimenting more with the limits of the black as outlining/covering element and expanding his manipulations of surface and material. Check out his past posts where we talked about these black works and showed some of his older works. Also see his website here.

Update: Patrick will be in The Object Direct, curated by Matthew Fisher at Heskin Contemporary, opening Nov. 20.

Call & Response, curated by Gianna Commito, is up now at Kent State University and closes Nov. 21. Photos by Jaime Keiter.
