Franco DeFrancesca's abstract works are reminiscent of those of American artist Jeremy Blake, who created the cover for Beck’s 2002 album Sea Change. Informed by the tradition of colour-field painting, DeFran­cesca uses digital technology to create primary images—blurred, bright lines or dots of varying hues—which he subsequently prints and mounts on Masonite panels and layered plywood, finishing them off with a resin coating. His current series is called Plasma Gels, the perfect name for a body of work as lusciously viewable (and marketable) as this. Artwork $2,500–$6,000. —David Balzer
