Triple Base says…

Of his recent paintings, Peter Stegall has exclaimed, "Color has me on the end of a string!" It's a strange statement to reconcile with his broad, linear segments of gloss enamel in muted shades, which recall both Sol LeWitt and Peter Saville's geometric cover designs for Factory Records. Whatever tizzy Stegall's palette has him in, the end results are coolly meditative. Sure, the bright-yellow and blue segments of Chroma Charged suggest a cropped lightning bolt, but it's the barely-there spectrum in Grays that's really exciting, morphing from a Malevich-like monochrome to a cascade of stone and moss-colored arcs right before your eyes.
