These dot paintings by Amanda Reeves take the words shy and subtle to a whole new place. But spend some time with them and you really start to like their personalities. There's an atmospheric glow to her minimal, color field backgrounds where different size dots of color hover like fairytale traffic signals guiding us through a fog. Read what she says about her work at the in2art gallery and it confirms your suspicions that this is, in fact op-art. When you visit her Website, click on Paintings to choose works from 2006, through '09. There are precious few works here, but they're all gems. Her latest works are going in a new direction and I hope she rekindles the magic as she goes forward.
