Stephen Westfall @ Lennon, Weinberg

Confining his efforts to within geometric abstract ideas, Westfall plays with color and optics in context of landscape/real-world ideas. The slightly mis-aligned boxes in a picture like Looking West are moves uniquely his own. Westfall teases the expectations one might have of this kind of minimalist work––work that is so restrained that there appears to be little room available for surprises––and he avoids tautology. In this way, his subtle decisions bring heightened charm within his deceivingly limited game. At Lennon, Weinberg until December 20.
