from the VILLAGE VOICE, 3/28/2018:
Jean Foos brings a vibrant formal wit to her slathered matrices of paint. "Hudson and Spring" (1995) was perhaps titled for the street intersection in Manhattan, but the mossy flagstone pattern overlaid with a sinuous net of color-shifting strokes conjures the primeval geometries of nature, before humanity segmented the island into a paved grid.
