Indepth Arts News: "Bill Gross: Monochrome" 2004-06-11 until 2004-07-10 Aron Packer Gallery Chicago, IL, USA United States of America
These smart, playful works derive from Gross’s preoccupation with the
coexistence of abstract and representational art. While his compositions
have identifiable elements, such as text from a meat packing company’s sign,
the influence of mid-century modernists such as Ellsworth Kelly is apparent.
Some of the paintings are presented on multiple panels—a technique that
further fragments yet oddly completes the piece. This is just one of several
ways Gross deftly creates a sense of displacement for the viewer. Merging
vernacular street imagery with modernist abstract art, Gross allows us to
find new meaning in the familiar.
