L.A. artist Andy Giannakakis' intriguing abstractions, on view at Park View/Paul Soto, come into focus then fade into nothingness.
A lot of people believe that abstract paintings are supposed to be big, bold and decisive — stunning improvisations by geniuses who bowl you over with the magnitude of their derring-do.
In contrast to works of contemporary art that treat the present as if it were the be-all and end-all, Giannakakis’ endlessly reworked compositions look as if they’d rather be anywhere but right here, right now. “I’m Always on a Mountain When I Fall” by Andy Giannakakis, 2019. Oil on wood panel, 15-1/8 inches by 27-3/4 inches.
On first glance, each of Giannakakis’ smudgy, rough-and-tumble panels looks as if it’s been abandoned. Blurry shapes, smudged colors, unbalanced compositions, over-painted passages and scraped-away sections make you think his works need more work if they are to look complete and feel resolved.
