Characteristic of Golub's work, White Squad V captures the decisive moment of violent action and calls attention to situations that the media seldom captures. Golub renders his typically huge, unstretched canvases by applying layers of thick paint, then dissolving and scraping it down with a meat cleaver. The process of building and taking away paint results in a dense, flat surface that often exposes the raw fiber of the canvas. His painterly concerns with texture and surface yield a highly tactile surface that has a subtle but disturbing reference to raw flesh and wounded skin. Golub's work has been collected in depth by the Broad Art Foundation, which includes 22 works among its holdings, spanning a twenty-year period in the artist's career. |
