Eric Sall is a dynamite painter. The prestigious Joan Mitchell Foundation in New York thought so. It awarded the 1999 Kansas City Art Institute graduate a $20,000 painters and sculptors grant in 2004.In the last year several new paintings by Sall have popped up in local group shows, whetting anticipation for ?Eric Sall: The State I Am In.? That one-person exhibit recently opened at Dolphin. Seven mostly large canvases find Sall continuing his trademark engagement with the material properties of paint, stacking and scraping, and pulling his brush through thick daubs of the stuff. He splatters it with Pollockian abandon, spackles solids over multicolored fields and coaxes it into dots, stripes and checkerboards.
