All-over abstraction tends to lure painters
toward heroics. Domenick Turturro's new paintings show all-over
patternings, yet he avoids the difficulties of his style admirably.
They are covered in a gestural fashion, but the artist's hand
is always guided by a notion of shape particular to each work.
Sometimes this shape is islandlike and orange, floating in profusion
against a dark background. Sometimes the shapes are fan- or
flower-like, scraped onto the surface in arcs to achieve an
effect of bright translucency. Occasionally, a very subtle reference
to printed fabrics is made. Here, low-keyed shapes are repeated
across the surface with variations that suggest the play of
very soft interior light. Turturro's range of color is extraordinary,
from keyed-up, "artificial" aquas and magentas to maroons and
ochres which seem almost to have acquired a patina of use. This
latter effect is an illusion, a helpful one. It reminds the
viewer that paintings do indeed have a use, they are intended
