Can painting be a tapestry? Can it be sculpture? Analia Saban continues to explore painting’s possibilities in her current show at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, in which she presents woven paintings, pigments derived from Tesla paint, and dried paint as a printing surface. Here, one of a series of paintings created by weaving dried paint strips through linen features a gradient inspired by image-editing software. Appearing in various colors of the spectrum, each gradient painting juxtaposes the digital and handmade, painting and fabric production, offering a fascinating hybrid medium. (On view in Chelsea through June 19th. Masks and social distancing required).
