MINIMALISM

Jaime Franco's paintings embody a complex love/hate relationship with the grid. Often delineated only to be manipulated, subverted, or obscured, his grids seem to question their own existence within the confines of the paintings' seductively worked surfaces, while simultaneously asserting their central positions as meaningful images that recontextualize the paintings into situations beyond the merely formal.
