Thanks for the reference! I think you've reminded of the vocabulary needed to express my impression of the images. IE, That's definitely how the images feel - just texture and composition. The thing is that I think that art involves using texture to "say" something. The artist puts combines represent of the physical world with reference to previous artists and images with composition. Some artists stress one or the other of these things - so that, yeah, a pure composition painting can definitely be "good enough to be in a museum". But a stream of painting like this definitely doesn't feel a museum or art as a whole.
