Ruth Root at Andrew Kreps Gallery

Using paint, fabric and Plexiglas, New York artist Ruth Root paints and sews her way toward charmingly idiosyncratic understandings of what abstract painting can be in her latest show at Chelsea’s Andrew Krep Gallery. (Through August 14th).

Ruth Root, Untitled, fabric, Plexiglas, enamel paint, and spray paint, 104 ½ x 63 ¼ inches, 2014-15.
