Concepts such as nomadism and sedentariness have an intimate link with space, be it natural, transformed or built. One is no longer a nomad as one used to be a traveller. Both concepts represent ways of understanding life that today can barely be simulated, even by covering one's eyes and ears to avoid seeing and hearing the hum of the things happening, vertiginously, around us. Working with sculpture cannot be the same as it was to travel as a traveler or a nomad.

Much has been made – by me as well as others – of the way Houston artist Geoff Hippenstiel moves between figuration and abstraction in paintings that combine over-the-top impasto with metallic silver or gold spray paint. In his second solo outing at Devin Borden Gallery, Hippenstiel turns that movement into a five-part narrative on the progression of a dark yet colorful portrait of a human skull into a gold, abstract monochrome – with the caveat that each “installment” of the story is itself a finished painting...
