“Radiant City” at Cherry and Martin

In this summer show, the work of nine artists focuses on their relationship to artwork made in the past century. Here it is not only what has been influential that is implemented by these young artists, but they also exploit or misinterpret familiar techniques in exciting ways. Rebecca Morris’ triangular painting, literally buzzing with formal contradictions, is completely riveting. The subjects of Michael Bauer’s oil paintings seem to simultaneously implode and explode, making multiple images with no fixed center. Also included are Walead Beshty, Luke Dowd, Anton Henning, Mai-Thu Perret, Anthony Pearson, Sara Vanderbeek and Tyler Vlahovich.
