A Retrospective (Acrylic on Canvases and Canvas Boards

In the twenty-three months that I have been curating the (Value) Village Art Gallery I have never added this many paintings via one post. But then again, I’ve never happened upon this many paintings by the same person on the same day. It’s a freaking embarrassment of riches! Normally I would critique each one separately, but in this case that would be boring and repetitive. Paintings one, three, four, five, six and eleven were all 4” x 4”. Of the thirteen, most are not that great but the er um “least inspired” painting in this set is FAAAAAR from being the worst we’ve ever seen. And in a small number of cases, there is actually some moderately interesting work taking place. Specifically, I really do kinda like numbers four, five. twelve and thirteen. The rest fall somewhere between “yeah, okay, pfft, whatever” and “Burn This Immediately!” I’ll leave it to you to figure out which ones are which.
