LA artist Tim Bavington reinvents the once-obsolete "stripe painting" with hometown verve. Bavington incorporates sound into many of his dense compositions, assigning a musical note to each color and naming the spray-painted acrylics after a recognizable rock song — as in the duo of Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue) and My, My (Into the Black). The piano-key-like swaths of color lend warmth and familiarity to the works' impersonal uniformity; like Rothko's multiforms, Bavington's cascading colors almost melt into the gallery space, with each piece's horizontal blur evoking a landscape rushing by, reduced to transitory shades.
