\"Math Photo by David Maestre Gomez<\/p>\n

\n

For her \u201cNewz!\u201d series of paintings, exhibited last spring in her breakthrough exhibition at the Los An\u00adgeles gallery Overduin & Co, Math Bass created a vocabulary of unusual archetypes: seductively angled cigarettes, a simplified profile of a green alli\u00adgator\u2019s open maw, eye-like pairs of tubes, stepped ziggurat structures and other graphic shapes. Identical forms vacillated between appearing as hard-edged abstractions in one painting and as bodily and architectural fragments in the next, producing captivating and often humorous visual marriages of the graphic with the surreal. In the Newz! paintings one might conjure a face or factory from one constellation of shapes, and see the walls of an ancient yet futuristic architecture in another.
\nBass is interested in, as she says, \u201cthe ambiguity of an object, its function and its purpose\u201d. In the same Overduin & Co exhibition, she showed metal sculptures that evoked minimalism\u2019s cool rigour while suggesting a more liquid idea of the ways we negotiate around space and with each other: waxed steel planes were bent over, stretched out, or folded into delicate steps. Tightly installed in the gallery, they suggested the tensions and intuitive delights of a flirtatious encounter. Bass often makes and uses steps, plinths and ladders as forms in her paintings, props in her performances and physical material for her sculptures. These structures suggest and enable transitions and connections across space and between bodies. Trans\u00adformation, transmutation, transcendence: Bass\u2019s work evokes many of these boundary-crossing \u2018trans\u2019 words in remarkable ways.
