Like the previous three series, from 2003, 2005 and 2007, the paintings that
Claude Closky is showing today are “untitled”. Which does not suggest any dearth of identity—each series and each picture has its own existence. The title in the visual arts publicizes concrete and/or metaphorical information about what we are looking at. Everything that Closky does is concerned with the world he lives in, as we can see in the finance-related graphs that inspired the compositions of his earlier “abstract” paintings.
The term “untitled” in this new series produces a second hypothesis. Closky has painted two letters on each surface, which forces us to look at the relations between pictorial surface and language and the issue of meaning.
