Magnus Plessen

So I recently went to the city and realized I wanted to go back to a show I had seen already. Magnus Plessen at Gladstone Gallery. That's when I knew I had to write about him. His work grew on me. At first look I didn't know what it was all about.
Formally speaking his color palette works for me. The installation of the work helped the paintings complement its neighboring painting. Some were put together as a diptych, and others were far from each other. His brush strokes and minimal marks seem monumental on the large canvases. His work is supposed to about fleeting images, uneven perspective, and making it very difficult to find a narrative. The paintings feel like collages fragmented together. The reason I think I really liked his work is because I have been thinking about memory, and how we either remember narratives, or fragments of visual images. I have been struggling to find a way to 'fragment' my images, and I think I can take something from this body of work.
