The self-contained world of Tomma Abts exists on 48x38cm canvases; each one is titled from a German dictionary of names. Considered and balanced, Abts’ resulting paintings are taught and consistent. Edges are clean but traces of her process are sometimes discernible. The pictures risk, if anything, being too complete or too resolved, but instead glory in their teeming possibilities and brilliant decisions, expanding and contracting in captivating ways. Up until December 23 at David Zwirner.
