Lee Ufan

I saw the Lee Ufan show at the Guggenheim last Friday. It was truly a beautiful show. I thought it was so appropriate that he chose the Guggenheim for his show titled "Marking Infinity". The architecture of the building has always made it seem like it could spiral on forever to me. I loved so many parts of the show but I especially loved the very last part in the annex. It was Ufan's "Dialogue" series that really stood out to me. Especially the piece entitled "Dialogue-Space" (2011). Ufan had painted three grey squares onto the walls if an empty room. The paintings seemed to be floating in the room rather than being apart of the walls. I was amazed by the effect that was created by only using paint and some light. Each square looked as though it was a single paint stroke but it was actually a lot of different strokes that took him days. His colors were perfectly blended from dark to light.

I had a great time at his show! I even bought a couple of postcards to pit up in my apartment!
