Stephen Giannetti: Spectral Circumstance

Bay Area artist Stephen Giannetti debuts a fresh take on his abstract color field work with a new series of acrylic on linen paintings. Through the extremely controlled use of spray paint, Giannetti’s new series weaves layers of spray into complex compositions that mirror sheer pixelated grids reading as atoms, particles, or cells. The translucency of this technique effects an opulent, magnified space that transcends his earlier re-working of the modernist formulism for which he is best known.
