Wendy White: Pix Vää

Wendy White at Leo Koenig

The past few years have marked themselves as a major turning point in the career of Wendy White. Pix Vää is White's third solo show of 2012.  She is showing paintings from her "Fotobild" and "PVC" paintings.  Her Fotobild paintings consist of images printed from her cellphone and painted over attached to a section of illegible text.  Although seemingly non-objective paintings, White ties them to specific locations: 11 Oliver refers to a building in NYC.  The painting's size allows it to engulf the viewer, and the marks represent traces of human activity (probably from around the building).
