Almine Rech Gallery

I liked the “weeping hydrant”, 2008 by Mark Handforth but wasn’t particularly impressed by his other work. On the other hand, the gallery pulled out a painting by Daniel Lergon in the middle of the show to show to some collector and it was great! A flat “painting” that looks like it’s on a sheet of metal, the “canvas” is actually a reflective fabric and with lacquer poured over part of the surface, causing it to subtly reflect oncoming light differently, depending on where the viewer is standing.
