Last week for Jovi Schnell / Don Voisine NY Times Review.

FINAL WEEK - Ends June 1, 2013 Jovi Schnell Fortuna Paper Moon Press: SF Bay Guardian SF Weekly Gregory Lind Gallery is pleased to present Fortuna Paper Moon, a series of paintings, drawings and sculpture by Jovi Schnell. Schnell’s pop-inspired lexicon of organic and mechanistic hybrids has expanded to include a combination of chance operations and pre-determined restraints. Schnell’s works issue from a longstanding interest in color systems, evolution, cosmology, technology, and our relationship to nature. Most works in the show result from accumulation, stacking, and aggregation. Like specimens lodged in amber, the texts, units, and forms become visual records or models of a memory, finding, or experience.

Mr. Voisine’s eighth New York solo show in 33 years makes an especially good case for his dedication. Working, as usual, in oil on wood and in fairly modest sizes, he presents black geometric shapes silhouetted against white or cream and bordered horizontally or vertically (but rarely both) by bands and narrow stripes of color."
