Guy Maccoy
Palos Verdes Community Arts Association Rental Gallery
“Father of serigraphy,” Maccoy has unfortunately reduced this art medium to a decorative formula of loose, descriptive lines over free color blotches. Unimaginative seascapes are the usual result. The acrylic paintings are considerably better, however. Despite stylistic inconsistencies, they manifest a greater freedom and spontaneity of approach. The innate iridescence of the pigment is used to advantage to produce active, open-formed abstractions of considerable vitality, and even occasionally the suggestion of a unique iconography.
