“Trova’s inclination toward the boundaries of abstraction is taken to another level by Paul Shank, whose nineteen gouache and pastel works on paper animate the main gallery. Shank’s compositions swing between flatness and depth, control and spontaneity. Rapid-fire strokes are hemmed in by an overriding logic. The clear reference here is Kandinsky, but Shank’s finely tuned sensibilities and a sense of quiet color are all his own.”
