New American Art and paintings from Dan Walsh Artist at The Saatchi Gallery
Dan Walsh's large scale paintings exude a quirky brand of minimalism. In Red Diptych II Walsh presents two canvases of grid patterns contrived of the same palette: the left panel comprised of solid blocks, the right of concentric tiles. Using the multiplicity of this geometric form, Walsh's paintings construct a phantasmal architecture: their componentised repetition suggests infinite expansion, each square mesmerising with the hypnotising glow of electric transmission. Creating optical illusions of gravity and weightlessness, Walsh's paired canvases alternate in their perspectival deception as their flat surfaces appear to advance and recede simultaneously.

Article Theme :-
Dan Walsh's work resounds with an understated authority. Painted with a pristine delicacy, Walsh's Arrangement uses the solidity of the chequered composition to create an abstracted sense of space. Divided by a liminal grid of translucent dark lines, his squares are bordered with concentrated bands of intense warm colour, weighted at their bases with striations of steely blue.
