With galleries and museums shut down, what are artists doing these days? Jennifer Guidi’s recent Instagram posts show her doing what she always does – logging hours in the studio. This image from her now-shuttered show at Gagosian Gallery ponders the impact and attraction of color and form. Originally inspired by a diagram illustrating Goethe’s color theory, Guidi was also influenced by Austrian naturalist Ignaz Schiffermuller’s color wheel, remaking here it as a painting that dominates one of Gagosian’s huge walls. It’s her meticulous mark-making, however, that has generated such excitement over her work. Here, two Instagram posts demonstrate the repetitive processes underlying Guidi’s work.
