Udomsak Krisanamis

The artist, who immigrated to New York from Thailand in 1991, has been compared to Frank Stella in the sense that his work also started out as deeply reductive black-and-white compositions: in Krisanamis’s case, as collages of newsprint in which every letter or number (except any occurrence of O or zero) was redacted with a felt-tip marker. Over the ensuing 20 years, the artist has branched out to ever-denser, layered and chromatic abstractions rendered on all manner of surfaces, including rice noodles. His latest paintings continue in similar vein, with gridlike markings in bold colors in some cases, black-and-white in others. One grouping of the latter is complemented by an installation of wooden sculptures resembling giant golf tees placed upside down.
