Nicole Klagsbrun and Aperture Gallery Celebrate Archtober
Barney Kulok was granted access to observe and photograph the construction of the highly anticipated Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park last Fall. The memorial park, designed in 1973 by Louis I. Kahn and situated on the southern tip of Roosevelt Island, was the last design the great modernist architect completed before his death in […]

My style of painting borrows from the Impressionists. Most of my work depicts stories of quaint places with added Architectural dimensions and color. I like to use oil paint and I love the effect of rich contrasting colors. My passion is to create images that impress, delight, and evoke emotions from the viewer. As a […]

My first love was drawing and painting. I was proud to visit the “Hochschule für bildende Künste am Steinplatz” in Berlin for painting and photography. First I preferred the figurative painting in Aquarell, later I developed a great love for painting in oil. The impressionists and later the expressionists, Cézanne and van Gogh were my […]

My paintings are about time, movement, and change. The sea is highly symbolic and bring an awareness of the environmental debates surrounding melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels to my paintings. The Cornish people have good reason to both love the sea as a source of income, and fear the sea as a […]
Hugo McCloud: Minus Paintings
On a blistering 100-degree afternoon in August, the artist Hugo McCloud and I moved through his Brooklyn studio discussing his recent exhibitions and series of works in progress. Hugo McCloud is a young artist whose approach is simultaneously minimal and conceptual, highly suggestive of an interesting emerging talent. Hugo McCloud, Shacks R Us 2012, Patina […]
Space Invaders
The Lehman College Art Gallery has been taken over by the artworks of eighteen featured artists in its exhibition Space Invaders. Through structures of the building, both inside and out, works are peering, creeping, growing, and hanging through the floor, ceiling, walls, and even the balcony. Working with a specific location in mind, the unique […]
Frieze London 2012: How Many Fairs In One?
Crowded. This is maybe the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of an art fair. For sure, that “crowded” became a more real, tangible sensation during Frieze London 2012, whose historical tent in Reagent’s Park, London, became one of many to visit this year. For the first time, the attendees had to […]

My paintings are inspired by nature, the little things like pansies. The enlarged depiction of little beauties, highlighting their uniqueness, the splendid chromaticity of each blossom–that is my passion. I also love to capture impressions, for example when I see the sun brushing over the moss, creating beautiful shades of light and color, just like in my […]
Carolyn Heer
Born 1960 in Nigeria, Carolyn Heer’s formative years were marked by numerous moves within West Africa, Switzerland and Canada. A richness of cultural impressions formed the young mind: languages ranging from English to French and High German along with various tribal dialects were part of her training and exposure. They left their mark along with […]

“The world is beautiful” is the artist’s leitmotif. Her pieces display this point of view through both figuration as well as abstraction, especially the decorative pieces that display positive energy and good vibrations. You can see the main statement also in an ironic way, some paintings pick up topics of obvious abuses in society. Sometimes […]
