Daniel Lefcourt at Blum & Poe

You could call it materiality porn. The deployment of new means depicting its picayune subject, the irrelevant accidents of masturbatory technique. Never a question of what to paint, but how to get it off. The PR tries to find the lost conception of a subject with the sonography of metaphor, putting us in the projectile sphere of imaging a ghost, the painter's "spill," imaged, cast and industrially reproduced. A cathedral-like requiem to the artist's petite mort, framed. Art villainy so in fashion.
