current exhibition at Leo Koenig Inc.
snippet from the press release for some info into how she gets this effect for those of you interested in process:
"By virtue of their proximity, Anoka Faruqee’s recent moiré paintings could be mistaken for vivid televisual noise that escaped the neighboring screens. Close up, one finds that the tidy optical patterns are more aleatory than they might seem. Using custom made-rakes and tools, Faruqee lays down and sands multiple layers of acrylic to develop ornate moiré patterns over time. She isolates these unwanted graphic effects common to printed imagery and redirects the malfunction into an aesthetic end goal. Her insistently optical works obfuscate their inherently physical processes. As is the case with Mosset’s monochromes, temporal evidence reveals itself at the edges."
