Animated Icons of Color – Don Voisine
Persimmon Life Studies

Animated Icons of Color – Don Voisine

Posted on December 15, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 13 Comments

Brent: Upon entering the gallery, your first show on the West Coast, San Francisco, Gregory Lind, immediately you become aware of all that is color. Oddly it is not the black that pushes its presence first. But like a good friend, faithful, the blacks unfold at a different speed, which require the intimate. If dark … Continue reading →

One or two Things I know – Linda Francis

One or two Things I know – Linda Francis

Posted on September 22, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 9 Comments

Brent: A drawing dated 1978, Untitled, chalk on paper, has a pair of identical penciled or conté grids which you use to make a series of what appear to be perfect arcs; there are finger marks or smudges; some arcs are taken out. The arcs appear to form some shape, allude to volume, but never … Continue reading →

Easy Pieces – Richard van der Aa

Easy Pieces – Richard van der Aa

Posted on September 15, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 4 Comments

Brent: Finding. You come out of a bit of a painting history; gesture; hints of constructive; a kind of record keeping; painting that pays attention to relationship more than heroics, though the mark and scale suggests that’s where you were initially coming from? Richard: Yes, I do feel that what I do comes out of, … Continue reading →

Glow – Henriëtte van ’t Hoog
Persimmon Life Studies

Glow – Henriëtte van ’t Hoog

Posted on August 22, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 10 Comments

Brent: Pop, peek-a-boo, poking around, of color that is not of this world, though worldly set in architectural places that can eat up the logic of their interior. Indeed you have for lunch many of the preconceptions of the formal. Your sense of order of space and how you color it physical is full of … Continue reading →

Suspension in Blue – Alan Ebnother

Posted on August 10, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 13 Comments

Brent: If color were a stamp then yours would be green. Though recently not all things have come up this way: You have moved into orange and apricot, banana yellow and powder blue, just for starters. Alan: I have been watching colors besides greens for years as I mixed or ground different pigments to achieve … Continue reading →

Gravity’s Architecture – Tim McFarlane
Persimmon Life Studies

Gravity’s Architecture – Tim McFarlane

Posted on July 28, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 4 Comments

Brent: One of the things that intrigue me about your work is how very immediate it feels. But then, also, there is this fine sense of order; a tension that just reads so. There are often layers, sometime layers upon layers, some almost obliterated, or covered over. There is this sense of frenzy at work, … Continue reading →

A Place of Ritual – Patricia Zarate

Posted on July 6, 2009 by Brent Hallard • Leave a comment

Brent: Out of location, a thing found – wonders in ways that form a new thing, in a different location – this is generally how I sense your various projects working. Patricia: It is my experience of a location or an object in a place that is important to me. I think that I’ve been … Continue reading →

Measure of Light – Linda Arts

Measure of Light – Linda Arts

Posted on June 15, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 3 Comments

Brent: Color scales, gray scales, drums, unwrapped columns, the feel of folds, all different measures of light that sometimes manifest as light ‘actually’, though all together register as interest in how things unfold, expose, and fold back – that draw attention to form while somewhat masquerading with it – Linda, what is the common thread … Continue reading →

Galaxies, Grids, Scattered and Gathered – Devin Powers
Persimmon Life Studies

Galaxies, Grids, Scattered and Gathered – Devin Powers

Posted on May 28, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 4 Comments

Brent: The structure of space, theoretical models such as n-space and the hyper-cube usually lose most of us even in adult life. However you had an interest in this as a child. How did this fascination arrive? Devin: Well, I was no child prodigy. In fact, I was born dyslexic. I did not learn how … Continue reading →

How Little is Enough – Lynne Harlow

How Little is Enough – Lynne Harlow

Posted on May 25, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 7 Comments

Brent: What are you currently working on? Lynne: I’m working the way I most like to, doing several different things at once. I have just completed a site-specific piece for a group show, I’m playing around with painted balsa wood strips that I’m gluing into shapes and, most significantly, I’m preparing for a collaborative project … Continue reading →

Bands of Color – Kasarian Dane
Persimmon Life Studies

Bands of Color – Kasarian Dane

Posted on April 29, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 6 Comments

Brent: You have been working on areas of color; vertical or horizontal bands of either matte paint or gloss paint with sometimes both present in the one painting at the same time. The structure between two areas of color, you couldn’t really call it a line, though, well, in the material – a space where … Continue reading →

The Carnival and Serene – Richard Roth
Persimmon Life Studies

The Carnival and Serene – Richard Roth

Posted on March 26, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 3 Comments

Brent: It seems to me that no matter where you position yourself to take these paintings in there are always two states forthcoming, though perhaps not always on view at the same time. Separately these different moods evoke, for example in ‘Full Cleveland’ or ‘Happy Hour’, the carnival and serene. When the two states mesh, … Continue reading →

Everyday Composed – Shinsuke Aso

Everyday Composed – Shinsuke Aso

Posted on March 18, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 11 Comments

Brent: Of course the first impression I get with your collage work (we may as well start there) is that it rings Japanese: The color, the quirkiness, and freshness – the level and sense of reserve and adornment. Though that’s too simple. Quirkiness and perhaps freshness has been picked up, more fetishized, by western media, … Continue reading →

Drawing Lines – Kate Beck

Posted on February 4, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 4 Comments

Brent: Kate, your pencil line drawings, either vertical lines or horizontal, always not the two together [?]: The framing device, the format and its edge seem to create the plus minus balance. How do you work on them? I noticed on your homepage that you had an image of quite a large one sitting flat … Continue reading →

A List of Things – Kevin Finklea

Posted on January 8, 2009 by Brent Hallard • 7 Comments

Painting Studio – East Wall, Summer 2008 Brent Kevin, you sent a studio shot of your new pieces. I can see how they fit with the flatter paintings, and what this new wood and paint work is doing. You mentioned that these pieces come about much quicker. Have you been going through a process of … Continue reading →
