In confronting the vibrating, thickly textured canvases of Eric Sall, one gets the distinct impression that he could survive by eating nothing but oil paint, if it came to that. Slathering it on in confident strokes that develop into fraught passages, Sall creates work that is not, strictly speaking, abstract; rather, his pieces embody the deconstruction of perception. In a process not unlike REM sleep, the viewer is bombarded with images and information, then left to sift and reconstitute the ideas while separating the metaphors from the memories.
