Stumbled upon this video. Wish we had seen the exhi­bi­tion, but was very happy to see the vid, espe­cially the look at the stu­dio and chat with the artist. We’re imag­in­ing these paint­ings and what the encaus­tic brings to play in the geom­e­try. Hope you enjoy the video. Check out the inter­view with the artist link at the end of the post. Wonderful work.

James Kalm beats the clock, slip­ping in to bring view­ers a last minute tour of the James Little exhi­bi­tion. Arriving in New York in the early sev­en­ties, Little has patiently perused his vision, con­struct­ing paint­ings based on a few uni­ver­sal abstract ele­ments. Well respected in the New York paint­ing com­mu­nity, with this exhi­bi­tion, the artist has gar­nered big shot praise from the likes of the New York Times Pulitzer Prize win­ning art critic Holland Cotter, and fea­ture arti­cles in influ­en­tial pub­li­ca­tions like the Brooklyn Rail and Art News. James Little gra­ciously con­sents to a stu­dio visit, and dis­cusses his encaus­tic paint­ing tech­nique, the influ­ences of Clement Greenberg and the cur­rent state of abstract paint­ing in America.
