Svenja Deininger at Marianne Boesky in Chelsea

I was just in New York and saw some incredibly inspiring paintings by Svenja Deininger.

Svenja's paintings are absolutely amazing.

Composition, shape, surface.

Nothing more.

What else does one really need ? 

Svenja Deininger: Untitled / Head

 Svenja's use of color and shape remind me of Ozenfant.
Svenja creates a wonderful tension between shape and surface in these paintings.

There's a range of surface distinctions from matte to gloss, smooth to rough.

Some of the edges of the paintings reveal multiple built-up layers that provide a peek into the making of the object.

I think Svenja juxtaposes the surface in some ways similar to Suzan Frecon.
