Larry Groff
Review of Groff’s October solo show “Flipped”, Luke Lyman wrote in the New Criterion The Critic’s Notebook, October 3, 2023, “Larry Groff: Flipped,” at Prince Street Gallery, New York (October 3 through October 28)
“Form and substance are one and the same,” said the Danish artist Asger Jorn. Such harmony is more easily dreamt about than created. But in Larry Groff’s new suite of paintings, featured in “Larry Groff: Flipped” at Prince Street Gallery, playful perspectival experimentation is merged with equally playful subject matter. These are humorous, almost mischievous works, but they are also emotionally layered so as to invite intimate study. Similarly, their form makes them immediately accessible—the pastel-colored oils on linen are mouthwatering—while concealing just how complex the underlying construction and layering really is. This show is thus very fun and very serious. —LL

Art in a Time of Global Crisis: Interconnection and Companionship
Margaret Tsirantonakis, Joy, Oil on canvas, 2020
Link to page with the article on Aras.org – Art in the Time of Global Crises: Interconnection and Companionship -#40
I created this painting soon after my mother passed away and when the COVID-19 virus was just beginning in the United States. I used some new oil paint colors that inspired the color combinations. The flowers were a symbol of the beauty my mom loved and that we shared. Although I was in mourning, I wanted to convey joy in color. As the current crisis has taken hold of our daily lives, having made this painting has been important to me. A positive reminder of the power of art as expression of love.
