“The surface where a painter begins is usually understood as anonymous: an uninflected blank. This is true for Voss, who works on stretched linen, and yet each of his painting has a unique set of dimensions and thus an individual shape that undermines its pristine anonymity. From this subtle refusal of standardization follows the striking individuality of his painted shapes.” – Carter Ratcliff on painter Michael Voss. Voss’s painting(pictured), Choque, is on view through October 6.
