The New Jersey-based artist, who emerged in New York’s downtown scene in the mid-1960s, offers up paintings that explore the spiritual dimensions of color, especially blue and green found object sculptures featuring globes perched atop teapots and figurines haloed with gleaming CDs and appropriated images that have been reproduced and subsequently altered with chalk, pastel, watercolor, and paint.
