Through Harper\u2019s Gallery\u2019s<\/a> large street-facing windows, Patrick Groth<\/a>\u2019s paintings of soccer players in vividly colored uniforms set against the green background of the pitch grab attention like a store window full of televisions.\u00a0 Inspired by footage of European club matches, Groth\u2019s paintings are almost quaintly small, analogue versions of the ubiquitous screens currently placed around New York City to stream the FIFA World Cup games. Pictured from above as if shot by drone or stadium cameras, clusters of players in different configurations react to a referee\u2019s presentation of a yellow or red card.\u00a0 Groth\u2019s loose style hides the emotion on the faces of the players, turning their bodies into abstract indications of color and movement while at the same time, picturing them as actors in decidedly theatrical moments. \u00a0(On view in Chelsea through July 24th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n
