I stumbed upon ArtByDNA's work at the CrossRoads Cafe, near where I live.

  Looks like there will be a show in December in Midtown Manhattan, perhaps I'll go.

I'm not sure which of the two paintings above is the stronger work, you'd think the red stripes would make the painting on the right stronger - but I'm not so sure.

The idea of "reductionism" is nothing new - the artists, what appears to be a couple (but I'm not sure of that) jointly work on each piece, trying to reduce a picture to it's fundamental elements of meaning.  

It may be the "idea" of what the painting is and supposed to do is better than the actual painting.  I found the paintings unusual and decided to note it on ArtNewYorkCity.

  1. I saw those paintings too and I found them very intriguing and original. There is something very powerful in the simplicity of the work. I believe the artists name is DNA. I noticed that they are represented by a gallery in DUMBO. It seems like they are becoming very popular and known in the NYC art scene.

  2. They are amazing: good sense of color and balance of subject-space
