Painting with Words


       Painters have often found kinship with language and somehow made it a part of their work.  Feodor Voronov is one such.   He has a current show "Relics" at the Mark Moore Gallery in Culver City.  Voronov was born in Russia 32 years ago, graduated Claremont in 2008, works in Los Angeles.

       A word or words on canvas in block letters is Voronov's starting point.  The work builds out from there.  "ALL THE RIGHT MOVES" is the title of this one.  And what may begin for the viewer  as a kind of "Find Elmo" search ends up, I think, being a very artistic journey.
