James Kalm has been watching the work of Frank Stella since his days as a student in the far West. This icon of New York Modernism presents Polychrome Reliefs as his statement of where painting is today. Though not properly reliefs, nor paintings, these extravagant works employ the latest in high tech composites, stainless steel and lustrous lacquers. These works juxtapose curving organic forms with pierced and engineered struts and ribbing, contrasting the mechanical with the romantic and continuing Stella's theoretical investigations of color and form. James Kalm's film includes comments by Mark Kostabi.

Tribal? I guess i can see that. Flower like, but they have an edge maybe it is the material.
