Jerome Boutterin permits the viewer to experience painting as a kind of transitional site... Stylistically, the paintings unite Minimalist structure with Abstract-Expressionist gesture, but aspects of Boutterin's work reminded me more strongly of the prevalence of semitransparency and layering in much recent French architecture. Although there were debts here, in particular to Albert Oehlen and Bernard Frize, Boutterin is free of those painters' sometimes chilly irony. His refreshing, oddly ruminative work strikes a perfect balance between intellect and materiality." -Joe Fyfe


Jerome Boutterin lives and works in Paris.
