Napi jöjjön_4: GizaOneFive // David Berlow (1955–)

Ez a betűtípus, illetve ennek egyik változata leginkább a Newsweek fejlécéről (logójáról) ismert, nem véletlenül, hiszen Berlow 1989-ben azzal a Roger Black-kel alapította meg a Font Bureau Inc. céget, aki a szóban forgó hetilap egyik nevezetes áttervezője volt. [Zárójel: Roger Black és a hvg között is volt egy érdekes-rövid kaland – anno!]

(via Paintings on Paper, Abstract and Effervescent)

For his solo show at Pace Gallery in 2010, Thomas Nozkowski made the decision to hang his work in pairs, with an oil painting on canvas board or panel alongside a related work on paper, setting up a contrast between density and light, slow and fast, rumination and riff. This comparison came to mind repeatedly while wandering through Paintings on Paper, the effervescent summer exhibition at David Zwirner.

Turning a Blind Eye: Ben Berlow at Rawson Projects

"Color blindness" is a misleading term. There is no actual blindness in those affected, but rather what is considered a deficiency of color vision which is considered a mild disability. But to others this is considered an advantage - some studies conclude that color blind people are better at penetrating certain color camouflages. This could possibly suggest an evolutionary reason for the prevalence of red-green color blindness. There is also a study suggesting that people with some types of color blindness can distinguish colors that people with normal color vision are not able to distinguish. Conditions that create variations in human perception traditionally considered to be abnormal are increasingly finding value in their ability to shed light on the nature and extent of human perception. Throughout history artists have shared a similar role. Art requires a communication of perception between the artist, the work, and the viewer. Perception is arguably a central concern of all art in the course of history. Leonardo da Vinci obsessively studied the structure of the eye and disparities between monocular and binocular vision, investigating the methods by which artists depict three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. In the 20th century, iconic Modernists such as Picasso developed Cubism, abstract painters such as Wassily Kandinsky studied the relationships of line, form, and color. In contemporary times, James Turrell has used light and color to challenge a viewer's understanding of each.

The artist Ben Berlow is admittedly "essentially color-blind" but of the type who experiences "a spectrum that is rich but different from what normal people see." Berlow's current exhibition Recent Works at Rawson Projects in Greenpoint, Brooklyn includes abstract works on brown paper. Upon entering the show, and without the knowledge of Berlow's color-blindness, I was at first struck by the odd, yet pleasing color palette presented across the works. Subdued hues of brown, blue, pink, and red, further deepened by their uniform richness and placement on brown paper, some of which are nicely accented with the semi-circles often found on the edges of brown paper bags. One work I found particularly noteworthy was a wiggling navy blue puzzle piece form in a rectangular field of pale pink. The understanding of depth is doubled here - the blue form is neither "cut out" of the pink nor on top, but rather both simultaneously. A symbiotic relationship of color, form, and material remains copacetic across the works. The show is enjoyable in its subtlety. The viewer must let their eyes simply bathe in these planes, enjoying the work for its simplicity yet appreciating unique color perspective that Berlow brings to the table.
