David Row (born 1949) is a contemporary abstract painter associated with the movements of Postmodern Painting and Conceptual Abstraction.[1][2] His primary aesthetic has evolved around a language of painterly fragmented geometric abstraction that is usually formed on shaped canvases and installations.[3][4][5] Row lives and works in both New York City and Cushings Island, Maine.[6] He is married to former AIGA NY Board president Kathleen Schenck Row.[7]

Early life and education[edit]

Row was born in Portland but grew up in Kolkata, India.[8][9] Row went on to study art receiving both his BA and MFA degrees at Yale. During his time there he studied under Joseph Albers,[10] Al Held,[11][12] Lester Johnson,[13] William Bailey,[14] David von Schlegell,[15] and Brice Marden.[16]

Row has exhibited extensively since the late seventies starting out at alternative and nonprofit spaces such as the Drawing Center[17] and PS122. He has been represented at various points in his career by John Good Gallery (New York),[18] André Emmerich (New York),[19] von Lintel Gallery (New York),[20] Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac (Paris/Salzburg), Ascan Crone (Hamburg),[21] Galerie Brandstetter & Wyss (Zürich) and currently with Loretta Howard Gallery (New York), Locks Gallery (Philadelphia) and McClain Gallery (Houston).[22]

Row is also an established printmaker working with fine art edition presses such as Pace Prints,[23] Two Palms Press[24] and the Tamarind Institute.[25]

He has also received grants and awards such as Yale Scholar of the House (1971-71), National Endowment for the Arts (1987),[26] Issac N. Maynard Prize from the National Academy Museum and School (2008).[27]

Row has taught and lectured at The Cooper Union, Rhode Island School of Design, Pratt Institute, Fordham University and currently teaches in the School of Visual Arts MFA Program.[28][29][30]

Work[edit]

Row's practice has evolved into a series of inquires into the nature of perception using geometry and the physicality of paint. His paintings use cropped and fragmented overlapping ovals and polygons that create visual and illusionistic tension. Charles Hagen goes on to describes the work in an Artforum review, "Row's paintings have a sense of dynamism about them as if they were constantly on the verge of becoming something else - and then, perhaps becoming themselves again, By combining off geometric forms with richly expressive color, Row attempts to bridge the gap between systems and intuition, concept and action."[31]

Peter Plagens writes about Row's work saying, "Row is a master of his mode, and his astute cramming of geometric shapes (ovals are a favorite) into dynamically constricting formats makes his compositions seem all the more muscular. Recently, he's been working on polygons, and his color, while measured and considerably muted by his relentless attention to the surface, is nevertheless expert and crisp."[32]

Ken Johnson referred to the Row's imagery as, "abstract paintings in which wide, arcing bands are played off rectangular division. Broad loopy lines and straight lines are squeegeed into richly layered fields, some in bright, synthetic hues, others in black and white."[33]

The paint application has the texture not unlike screen printed ink or stenciled wiped surface which causes the image to appear blurred or obscured. Often marks remain from the use of such tools and other masking techniques as evidence of the process as well as aesthetic gesture. In reference to this painting critic Barry Schwabsky says, "The layering if the surface is in fact rather complex, and because Row uses the removal of the masking tape holding down the stencils as a marked steps in the painting process, the image is traversed, both at and under the surface but the grid formed 'ghosts' of the tape."[34]

Times art critic Roberta Smith describes Row's work as, "layer together complex processes (including templates, screen printing and Richter-like blurs) with an imagery that centers on repeating open ellipses. Across separate panels and multicolored grids, and in lively contrasting colors, these ellipses disintegrate into coiled lines and then big flamelike strokes, with a centrifugal energy that can seem cinematic."[35]

The work of New York painter David Row has been labeled 'conceptual abstraction' but the unabashed physicality of his work—of which 15 choice examples are on view at Loretta Howard Gallery—suggests 'calisthenic abstraction' as an equally apt designation. This exhibition's checklist spans the promised 40 years, from 1976 to the present, and every painting is as much a material presence as it is a pictorial conundrum.

New York: Hunter College of the City of New York. p. 60. ISBN 978-0-9839261-6-0. In November of 1991, the Sidney Janis Gallery opened the groundbreaking Conceptual Abstraction exhibition under the auspices of Carroll Janis, with the collaboration of the painter Valerie Jaudon who coined its title. This was, in effect, one of the last shows at a gallery long associated with the rise of post war art in New York. Founded in 1948 by the intrepid dealer Sidney Janis, the gallery played a major role in the development of Abstract Expressionism; in 1962, it showcased the first major Pop Art show, and by the nineties it had become synonymous with blue chip Modernism. Conceptual Abstraction, however, was a radical departure for a gallery better known for representing a roster of established artists that included such luminaries as Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, and Claes Oldenburg. Organized at a time when abstraction had fallen into disfavor, the original exhibition included a new generation of painters who strayed from modernist notions of non-figurative painting and instead built their abstracted visions on fresh aspects of a newly surfaced reality—be it decorative patterning, direct appropriation, geometric constructions, or language. This initiative by the Janis Gallery spurred a plethora of similar group exhibitions around the New York art world, serving as a lively platform for debate on the state of painting at the end of the twentieth century. Moreover, Conceptual Abstraction demonstrated that abstract painting remained a vital and progressive option for contemporary art, and it could be argued that the current renaissance of abstract painting began with this 1991 exhibition.

His fractured canvases, plywood assemblages, and faux-assemblages, are puzzles that question the act of puzzling—in this case the act of constructing an image from odd parts. What is wonderful about these works is how they don't need to follow through with what we've come to expect from a puzzle. While all the segments fit snugly together to form a variety of many-faceted irregular polygons, the surface imagery—loosely a thematic series of Xs and Os—does not usually add up to a contiguous whole. There are mismatched angular chunks interjecting into the curves of the Os and there are truncated and dismembered Xs.

His recent show at John Good Gallery in New York was ambitiously conceived and executed, comprised of large scale works made up of multiple intersecting rectangular panels. Here Row's work shared an attitude with his antecedents Ellsworth Kelly and Frank Stella: the Abstract paintings can operate at a scale and with visual impact that relates them directly to the popular culture experience.

David Row is trying to make abstract paintings that will have the sensuousness of, let's say, David Reed's work but also an even greater degree of self consciousness. In his new paintings the smallest is 77 by 76 inches, the largest, 91 by 164 inches Mr. Row works with matte surfaces and both muted and high-pitched colors. All the paintings consist of several canvases, each one a different size. In each, there are lines suggesting huge parabolas. Sometimes the sweeping curves continue from one canvas into the next. More often the effect is one of discontinuity and incompleteness. A fluid, even cosmic, movement seems well under way within a canvas yet already broken by the edge or by the different movement in an adjacent canvas. The discontinuity is reinforced by the textures, which seem like old walls whose paint has been scratched or has begun to peel away. The problem here is that the emotional needs and intellectual demands within these paintings work against each other, almost canceling each other out. These paintings will not discourage any one who believes Mr. Row is a painter to watch, but the conceptual, self-conscious side of the work clearly wins the day.

Immediately following his studies he moved to New York City where he became a prominent member of a new young generation of abstract painters including Ross Bleckner, Peter Halley and Mary Heilmann. The artist is best known for his abstractions wrought with stark, architectonic precision in heavily worked surfaces of oil paint. His sumptuous, often delicate colors reflect a sensibility inherited from viewing the rich died fabrics he saw in markets while living with his parents as a young adult in India where his father moved to work as a city planner. He is known for his use of diptychs and more recently for his shaped polygonal canvases. His works are in the permanent collections of museums worldwide including The Brooklyn Museum, The Carnegie Museum of Art, The Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego. He has exhibited internationally including with Von Lintel Gallery in New York, with Brandstetter & Wyss , Zurich, Von Lintel and Nusser, Munich, Marella Arte, Milan, Thaddaeus Ropac, Salzburg and Paris and Andre Emmerich in New York. He is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Grant in Painting (1987) and the Isaac N. Maynard Prize for Painting from the National Academy Museum, in New York, in May 2008.

David Row's 'Split Infinitive' and 'Untitled 99' embody the main thrust of the artwork of next three rooms. In defiance of abstract expressionism's reverence for unity and geometric perfection, symbols of idealism and utopia, Row splits his canvasses into three uneven rectangles. What struggles to become a circle that would connect them is disrupted and fragmented. When thrown down in black and yellow, the gaping spiral suggest chaos and irresolution. When stenciled in stale shades of white and gray, however, the missing pieces and edges of the ovals create an emptiness and dissolution. By the corruption of its most prized form, Row has revealed the imperfections and hollowness of the old abstract pretensions and the dreamworld they espouse. These two artists use the most common technique for getting their messages across, taking a traditional element or style and injecting an opposing, new element to destroy its significance or validity.
