Synopsis

In this book, Los Angeles–based painter Jonas Wood (born 1977) explores his longstanding fascination with intimate interiors, such as his childhood home, his studio and other spaces in his everyday life. Wood renders these interiors with a disorienting combination of scrupulous exactitude and absolute flatness.

About this title

Review

With one foot in Modernist cool and the other in vibrant Pop Art, Jonas Wood gives breathing room to densely patterned paintings of domestic interiors that celebrate the logic of incongruity.
“I think painting’s fun,” Wood says in “Interiors,” the catalog accompanying his exhibition, on view from Mar. 31 through May 12 at the David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles, where Wood lives. Austere his work is not. The bold parrot-and-leaf print on a bedspread that nearly consumes a guest room fairly shrieks at the unperturbed Bertoia wire chairs that face it.
