-Santi Moix shows at the Paul Kasmin gallery. The medium is different than what I usually use in my work, but I found the composition and shapes used in these works to be very interesting and relevant to my work. The shapes are very organic and there's a sense of space. What I found interested about the composition is that the placement of the "image" adds a certain weight to the piece. Also, I like how everything springs out from the center, which creates some massive sense of depth there. The concept of placement and composition in these pieces is something I might want to apply when construction my work because my work is flat shapes and flat colors and sometimes I feel like it needs some depth to it. Also, I was debating last week about maybe moving away from the flat, solid colors and moving to something a bit more painterly. So this seems like a good example of what my work could look like if I started working wet into wet paint when creating the shapes in my paintings.

---I tried to read up on this artist and couldn't find much besides that he has a fellowship to the Guggenheim museum. Any suggestions of where I can find more info on this artist?
