From Ann Purcell’s @villagevoice review last week by R.C. Baker: “...1981’s “Séance,” Purcell was forging unison from fragments. In this six-foot-tall canvas, bright drips cascade from the top of the black ground and hopscotch around painted collage squares like a waterfall navigating boulders. Near the bottom, swirling golden dribbles are confined to a pasted-down purple rectangle, a moment of coiled energy that echoes the larger composition but also implies its own temporal space. Two other small swatches—broadly swiped with orange—tumble like snapshots of forgotten sunsets, a notion perhaps influenced by a title that calls to mind the search for a lost loved one.” #annpurcell #rcbaker #artreview #villagevoice #berrycampbell (at Berry Campbell)
