Jackie Saccoccio tilts and shifts her canvas while pouring paint to create a grid of drips; in her latest work, the grid both dominates the paintings and disintegrates in vibrant, explosive colors. (At 11R on the Lower East Side through April 30th).
Painter Jackie Saccoccio blurs the lines between abstraction and representation in huge new paintings that respond to well-known art historical portraits with complete abstraction. In the foreground, the sumptuous colors and extravagant patterns in Saccoccio’s piece parallel the decoration and costume of a well-to-do young woman in Domenico Ghirlandaio’s 1488 portrait of Giovanna Tornabuoni. (At Eleven Rivington through May 18th).
