Last week I reviewed John Sparagana‘s exhibition, Crowds & Powder, still up for a few more days at Corbett vs. Dempsey.
With their reliance on grids and fascination with images, Sparagana’s collages have much in common with the optical intensity of digital distortion or algorithmic abstraction, yet the artist adapts his images with the kind of diagrammatic storytelling more fundamental to collage. They are artworks that take their start from mass-market media, but they are also responses to those original images, as much interpretations as adaptions.
