Joe Reihsen’s deceptively flat-textured paintings explore the differences – or possible lack thereof – between analog and digital mark-making. Reihsen’s impossibly finished surfaces challenge long-held assumptions about the hierarchy of forms within a given composition, while also reaffirming some of painting’s most essential truths. Riehsen’s work has been exhibited abroad and in the States, including solo shows at Praz-Delavallade in Paris, Vedovi in Brussels, and Anat Ebgi in Los Angeles. His work has also been included in a host of group shows over the past several years, including Post-Analog Painting at The Hole in New York. and the SoHo Revue in London, UK. The Hole is proud to be the home of his first (massive!) solo show About Face.
