A Review of Painting Not Painting at |’sindikit| projects by Terence Hannum
Paolo Arao is known for his labored hard edge abstract works, that base themselves on systems of time, for example a painting a day or an hour. In this exhibition he does away with timetables and also his usual acrylics and color pencils for fabric in “Happy Endings,” a pair of skeletal rainbow fabric grids. They sag slightly, drawing attention to the system of voids cut from within, owing something to a happier and more solid Supports/Surfaces work. It’s a happy medium, familiar to the work we know but brave in its risk.
